Hello SIGCIS!

I am writing to share an exciting job opening.

The University of Virginia is seeking applications for a
tenure/tenure-track professor at the assistant or associate level for a
joint appointment between the Department of Media Studies and the Carter G.
Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies. Areas of
specialization include digital media infrastructures, big data, algorithmic
platforms, modes of digital representation, and other such areas,
particularly as they relate to issues of inequality and anti-Blackness.

This position is part of a multi-year project dedicated to Race, Justice,
and Equity across the university that will include ten T/TT faculty
searches and thirty postdocs and fellows.

For details, see:
