JOB ANNOUNCEMENT
Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Communication, and Culture (LCC) is
participating in the fundamental reconfiguration of the role of higher
education in an increasingly technological, multicultural environment.
Currently offering a master's degree in Information Design and Technology
(IDT), a bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, and Culture (STAC), and
a minor in Women in Science and Technology (WIST), LCC is also responsible
for providing courses in literature, communication, and culture to all
Georgia Tech undergraduates. In keeping both with our current programs and
with an eye toward developing a PhD program in the history, theory, and
practice of technologies of representation, we seek to fill 4-5
tenure-track positions at the rank of assistant professor (except where
noted; for all positions, however, we will in extraordinary cases consider
candidates at the rank of associate or full professor). All new faculty
will share LCC's commitment to interdisciplinary work at the theoretical
and applied levels, as well as to the integration of new electronic
technologies into humanities and communication education. We are
especially interested in considering applications from women and minority
candidates. Applications must be postmarked by Friday, November 3 (except
where noted); this deadline will be strictly observed.
FACULTY POSITIONS AVAILABLE
1) Film Studies: 1 position (film history/theory/video production). The
committee seeks candidates with expertise in the practical and theoretical

2) Electronic Communication: 1 or 2 positions (graphics and/or
professional communication). The committee seeks candidates with expertise
in the practical and theoretical aspects of graphic design, theories of

letter and CV to Prof. Jay Bolter, Electronic Communication Search
Committee.
3) Cultural Studies: 1 or 2 positions (science and technology studies).
The committee seeks candidates with expertise in the cultural studies of
science and technology, with an emphasis in eighteenth-century or American
