The new description (in part) is below, and the deadline has been extended until Nov. 15, 2024. https://careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/533945/assistant-professor-of-law-and-technology

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.
