The International Studies Department at Macalester College seeks to appoint an Assistant or Associate Professor in Culture, Media, Technology, and Information Flows.

Candidates trained in any humanities or social science field, including (but not limited to) anthropology, communication, cultural studies, history, literature, media studies, sociology, and technology studies, are encouraged to apply. A global perspective is central to International Studies. Within that perspective, however, we seek candidates with particular strengths in South, Southeast, or East Asia, the Islamic world, globalizing Europe, and/or Latin America.
