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).
