Re-sharing the thread of Digital Media assistant professor positions we're hiring for at Georgia Tech! (Oct 27 deadline). We're very interdisciplinary, though the "Digital Representations" call focuses more on STS & design research; the "Media Studies" position has a more (new) media studies focus.
Come work with us at Georgia Tech! We're hiring assistant professors in multiple areas! (Oct 27 deadline). There's 2 within the Digital Media program:
1) Assistant Professor of Digital Media: Digital Representation in Science and Technology Studies: careers.hprod.onehcm.usg.edu/psc/careers/...

I had the privilege of hosting @inhacha.bsky.social this summer at the Digital Life Initiative at Cornell, where she led amazing work unpacking "AI Sovereignty" with me & @richmondywong.bsky.social. Her work connects the local to the global in such an inspiring way.
Look out for a preprint soon!
