Brown University invites applications for a two-year International Postdoctoral
Fellowship in Modern Culture and Media, with a specialization in Global Media Studies.
This position is to be held jointly at the Cogut Center for the Humanities and the
Department of Modern Culture and Media, effective July 1, 2017.
Review of applications will begin January 27, 2017, and will continue until the position is filled.
The department emphasizes the theoretically informed analysis of film, television, video, new media, photography, sound technologies, and print in the context of modern and contemporary cultures.

- the productions and receptions of one or more non-Western or Global South media practices, texts, and/or audiences
- the translations and transformations of globally popular genres
- media ecologies, economics, and geopolitics in an era of increasing transnational media trade
- new media “publics” and “privates,” spatialities and temporalities
- transnational media institutions and national media imaginaries
Position:
- The Fellow will offer one course each semester of the two-year appointment devoted to questions of media texts and transmissions in a global context.
- The Fellow will also be affiliated with the Cogut Center and is expected to participate in the weekly Tuesday seminars as well as other activities of the Center.
-
Research should critically engage the technological and theoretical transformations and media flows that are rapidly resituating all forms of media and social practices.

Application: submit the following electronically:
