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. These 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.
