The University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking candidates for three
full-time positions in VISUAL CULTURE STUDIES beginning academic year
2002-2003. Appointments may be made at the assistant, associate, or full
professor level at salaries commensurate with candidates' qualifications.
The home departments of successful applicants will be determined according
to their areas of specialization and may involve joint appointments.
Applicants should have strong records of scholarly publication and/or
creative practice. Work may focus on any aspect of Visual Culture, but must
demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary research. We will consider
all areas of the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences that engage
questions of vision and visual systems. The University is particularly
interested in attracting candidates whose research and teaching interests
include transnational and multi-ethnic dimensions. New hires will need to
meet the teaching, research, and service expectations of the home
department(s) and the University.
New hires should be prepared to develop new curricula in Visual Culture
Studies and to assume leadership roles in the extra-curricular activities
of a campus-wide Visual Culture group. The hires are part of the cluster
hiring initiative at the University of Wisconsin, which was developed to
support new areas of knowledge, address complex societal issues, and
provide collaborative research opportunities. For information about the
history and objectives about the University of Wisconsin Cluster Hiring
Program, see http://wiscinfo.doit.wisc.edu/cluster/overview.html.
