Michigan State University
The Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media
(TISM) at Michigan State University invites applications for two tenure
stream faculty positions, each carrying the title of AT&T scholar.
These positions are supported in part by an endowment from the AT&T
Foundation. Each position may be filled at either the assistant or
associate professor level.
Successful candidates are expected to gain recognition through peer
reviewed scholarly publications and to pursue external funding to
support their research. Applications are encouraged from scholars
working within a diverse range of disciplinary and methodological
traditions whose research addresses the impact, use, design, or
management of information and communication technologies. A PhD in a
relevant discipline is required.
The TISM department is home to a dynamic, interdisciplinary faculty
internationally renowned for their cutting-edge research on the uses
and implications of information and communication technologies and
other media. Our curricula address both the theoretical and practical
aspects of media use, and our alumni have achieved positions of
prominence in industry, government, and academia. Projects involving
cross-disciplinary teams are actively pursued and encouraged. Current
research foci of the department include social media, serious games,
ICT for development, ecommerce, economics and policy for the
communications sector, and content for new media platforms. The
department also houses programs in film, documentary and media design.
