<div class="">Thanks for sending this posting. Job postings like this are precisely the sort of thing that we hope people post to the SIGCIS list. The more that we can use the list to promote cross-disciplinary awareness of jobs, fellowships, articles, books,
etc. related to computing and IT (broadly defined), the better. Please - keep them coming!</div>

at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professorship in the History of Digital Media. We seek a teacher and scholar with expertise in the history and theory of one or more of the following areas:
Internet culture, video games, digital imaging and design, social media, and related applications. Priority will be placed on hiring an interdisciplinary scholar who attends to the visual culture of digital media and analytically examines the social and historical
contexts of its emergence. We welcome applications from scholars who specialize in any national or geographic area. Applicants must be capable of teaching a wide range of courses (large lecture to seminar) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The department
faculty support the investigation of art and visual culture from a variety of theoretical perspectives in the cultures of Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific Islands.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Optima-Regular, serif;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
