*Assistant Professor of Cultural Analytics*

McGill University’s Faculty of Arts invites applications for a
tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor with a primary
area of specialization in the field of cultural analytics and digital
humanities. Candidates may be working in a variety of subfields across
the humanities and social sciences, including literature, history,
anthropology, music, photography, art history, cinema, linguistics,
information studies, and cultural or media studies, and must have a
demonstrable research program that uses computational analysis for the
study of culture. Special emphasis should be given to methods that
connect with critical approaches to cultural study, such as feminist,
post-colonial, transnational, Indigenous, queer-, disability-, or
race-theoretical, or other approaches that address questions of social
justice and/or inequality.

The position will be appointed in the department best aligned with the
candidate’s teaching and research. Candidates must demonstrate
outstanding research potential and publication records, substantial and
relevant teaching experience or potential, and a strong commitment to
interdisciplinary inquiry and the support of diverse intellectual
communities. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research,
teaching and service bear this out.

Applicants must have a PhD in hand or near completion at the time of
appointment. The appointment begins 1 August 2017. Inquiries about this
position can be sent toacademicaffairs.arts at mcgill.ca
<mailto:academicaffairs.arts at mcgill.ca>.

Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three
letters of recommendation, evidence of teaching experience and
effectiveness, and a writing sample (20-30 pages). The committee will
begin reviewing applications on *15 December 2016*; applications
received after that date may not receive full consideration. All
materials, including referees’ letters of recommendation, must be
submitted electronically
to <https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/8290>https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/8290. 

McGill University is an English language institution, but a working
knowledge of French is an asset for this position.

McGill University is committed to diversity and equity in employment. It
welcomes applications from: women, Aboriginal persons, persons with
disabilities, ethnic minorities, persons of minority sexual orientation
or gender identity, visible minorities, and others who may contribute to
diversification. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply;
however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadians
and permanent residents will be given priority.
