Communication and Media Studies 2012-2013

Communication and Media Studies Positions

Welcome to this year’s wiki! This wiki should include only positions that begin Fall 2013-Spring 2014. Last year's wiki is here: Communication and Media Studies 2011-2012.

Want to keep up with changes? Maintain your santity and stop hitting refresh all the time - subscribe to the RSS feeds for this wiki or follow on Twitter. Beware that you'll be notified whenever a change is made - this will be a lot of updates at busy times. RSS feed for 2011-2012. RSS feed for 2012-2013. Twitter feed for updates. I created a Facebook page as well if you prefer getting your updates that way.

Some guidelines to keep this (large) wiki orderly (inspired by Wikia policy and practice):
 * Please do not post personal information about other people. (Example 1: "Look at the visiting assistant professor Sarah Comm-Scholar! This position description is right out of her CV. This must be an inside hire!" Polite/respectful speculation about 'inside hires' is fine, but please respect people's privacy by not using their names.) (Example 2: "Bob Media from Whatever U got the job." The rule of thumb is "public." If a hire's name is posted on the department's website or the department tweets this information publicly, fine, post his/her name. But posting information that you heard through friends is not polite.)
 * Rumors: Rumors are relevant information, but should be taken with a grain of salt. If you want to post a rumor, please take care to caveat your information with rumor/I heard through the grapevine/etc.
 * Redundancy: The format of the wiki is to only post the bare-bones information about a position (department, rank, area, due date, link, and then updates about the position (interviews, etc.).) Details that are available in the job posting description don't belong on the wiki.
 * Please try to follow the format - alphabetical, school, department, position, type, due date, link to ad, comments (see below for examples)
 * Please do not erase material from this wiki.
 * Any comments about formatting or policy belong in the TALK section.
 * Interested in helping out with the wiki as an administration, please leave a message on my talk page.Commie4life

Positions and Details
In past wikis, people who got job offers gave a summary of their position type, teachng loads, salary, negotiations, etc. (For example: AP TT, Western, Private, $50,000 offered (no negotiations), 3-3 teaching load, $4,800 moving, $5000 startup, White female. Can we do that again this year? --Question: Why didn't anybody post their offers last year? (I think that people get nervous about disclosing this stuff. It is a small field.) This seems like a good thing to do? No? Would be useful for people negotiating in the future and for people looking at the long term benefits/drawbacks of the career. I think that people can feel free to be more vague if they want to post.
