Dear colleagues, I'm chairing a search for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position looking for a new colleague whose research and teaching expertise lies in the use, adoption, and regulation of new and emerging information and communication technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), forms of immersive media (VR/AR/XR), and/or digital platforms (including, but not limited to, social media and/or digital games). We are certainly open to internet/media scholars who have also expertise in media law/free speech, etc. More below (full add is here: https://careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/533945/assistant-professor-of-law-and-...) *** The University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC) seeks a tenure-track faculty member at the assistant professor (pre-tenure) rank with research and teaching expertise in the use, adoption, and regulation of new and emerging information and communication technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), forms of immersive media (VR/AR/XR), and/or digital platforms (including, but not limited to, social media and/or digital games). A successful candidate will be expected to teach our required undergraduate course in media/communication law, as well as other courses in their area of specialization, including in our thriving Eugene-based undergraduate programs in Media Studies, Journalism, Advertising, and Public Relations. The candidate may also contribute to our professional master’s programs, including our master's program in Immersive Media Communication (based in Portland) and our PhD program in Communication and Media Studies. They will be eligible to supervise and mentor graduate students in the SOJC’s graduate programs and undergraduate students in the SOJC Honors Program. We seek an outstanding scholar and educator whose research and teaching are focused on some or all the following areas: 1) How the law regulates new and emerging information and communication technologies including, but not limited to, generative AI, immersive media (XR/VR/AR), and/or digital platforms; 2) How these technologies regulate human behavior; 3) How the use, adoption, and regulation of these technologies can be informed by diverse approaches to human values, ethics, and critical approaches to technology, data, media, and/or information; and 4) Related issues of media and technology law, including free speech and the First Amendment, privacy, surveillance, and/or platform regulation. *** Sincerely, Bryce Bryce Clayton Newell, PhD, JD Associate Professor, Media Studies Coordinator, SOJC Honors Program School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC) University of Oregon bcnewell.com<http://bcnewell.com/> | Google Scholar<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=7kICf7kAAAAJ&hl=en> External positions: Dialogue Editor, Surveillance & Society<https://ojs.library.queensu.ca/index.php/surveillance-and-society/index> Co-Director, Surveillance Studies Network<https://surveillance-studies.net/> (SSN)
