• Job Description: The Department of Communication at UC San Diego seeks faculty candidates at the level of Assistant/Associate Professor whose research, teaching, and service will advance scholarship and institutional solutions for designing more just and equitable systems and structures. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar, artist, or practitioner who engages with the study and design of laws and policies related to media, communication, and culture with a focus on Native American/Alaska Native/Pacific Islander, Indigenous, Black, and/or migrant futures. This search is part of a UC San Diego-wide cluster hire on Designing Just Futures (DJF) that aims to recruit scholars, artists, or practitioners who can contribute to the advancement of design, social justice, and futures and seeks engagement across disciplines to address issues of territory, access and equity, and social and political debates pertinent to Native American, Indigenous, Black, and migrant communities, while also working within their home departments and professional communities. Faculty hired under this initiative will join the UC San Diego Design Lab and the Indigenous Futures Institute to forge a new paradigm of engagement and collaboration that draws on the geographic, academic, institutional, and cultural strengths of our tri-national region across Southern California, Baja California, and the Kumeyaay region. As a member of the UC San Diego Design Lab and the Indigenous Futures Institute, the successful candidate will center Native American, Indigenous, Black, and/or migrant people and communities in collaborative and shared efforts toward inclusive and justice-oriented design solutions to complex socio-technical problems. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar, artist, or practitioner whose work interrogates what it means to design, and whose work decenters dominant technocratic design practices in favor of interdisciplinary approaches informed by Native American and Indigenous Studies, Black, and/or migration studies in dialogue with critical race studies and critical legal studies. We seek a colleague who, likewise, addresses questions of how design engages with or raises critical questions about legal ownership, territory, and citizenship. Areas of research and design may include but are not limited to the following: legal questions in genetics and health, for example as they relate to consent in genetic data collection and the ownership and management of digital genetic databases; the unauthorized appropriation of Indigenous, Black or migrant knowledge and culture, its relationship to conventional intellectual property laws, and its implications for envisioning alternative conceptions of law and property; questions of surveillance, power, and freedom that arise in Indigenous, Black and migrant interactions with digital technology; the questions raised for citizenship, territory, and sovereignty in both the breach and upholding of Indigenous, Black and migrant rights in treaties, laws and policies at federal, state, and local level; questions of justice that arise at the intersection between Indigenous, Black and migrant rights and disability rights, including conceptions of disability and access; responses to the challenges of environment and climate change, for example in rights to water and other resources, and forest management. In all these areas we are especially interested in scholars whose work holds promise for Indigenous, Black and migrant futures.

    • I haven't heard anything, either, other than an application-received acknowledgement in October. I did see a search committee member post on social media that they were interested in industry folks, emphasizing no PhD-required, etc.

Word on the Street

Gossip etc. goes here

Question: Some other wikis have a "Who got the job" section where people actually list who got what jobs. I like this idea due to both transparency and pure gossipy interest, but I don't want to implement if it's going to ruffle feathers or cause conflict. Thoughts? - Prof LowBrow

^^^I would not do this. Personally, I think it is a very bad idea. If a person gets a job offer, there might be a really good reason they want to hold off on telling their current institution or announcing publicly. It's one thing to share this info via whisper networks, but to post someone else's offer business publicly (especially if they haven't posted about it publicly themselves) is very sketch imo. Given how anxiety ridden these boards can get, it also seems like it would open the "person who got the job" up to rude comments or undo vitriol. I dunno. Just sounds like a bad idea to me.

• 10/18 I moderate a wiki that posts names (Musicology/Music Theory). We have done this for many years with minimal drama, and our rule is that winning candidates are always welcome to post their own name. In the music studies discipline, posting your own name on the wiki is a common/accepted way to announce to the field that you got a job. If you are posting a name other than your own, the poster must have public corroborating evidence - a press release, the department website, the candidate's own public website (not private social media), etc. In general, until late summer each year, the majority of names posted were placed there by the candidates themselves. We do not allow posting of names of winning candidates that were only heard "through the grapevine" or on the winner's private social media, etc. Hope this helps. -5120j
• 12/6 I think I'm going to take this approach! Thanks 5120j

The rumor is that UC Davis is going to post a tenure-track job in MEDIATED INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION soon.

NOTE: Please do not complain about jobs not being added to the wiki- if you see a job that isn't on the Wiki, add it yourself! Sometimes departments add jobs themselves, but more frequently it's a passerby just like yourself. I added like 80% of the jobs last year and I am just a random professor procrastinating from my actual job. You, too, can do that!

Question: The heading at the top says no adjunct positions here. Is there anywhere on the jobs wiki where I could post a media studies adjunct job? Thx

Answer: You are more than welcome to make your own page for non-TT jobs - in fact I think that's a good idea b/c people keep cluttering up this page with crappy VAPs and 1-year contract jobs.
