Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of Humanities and Technology Studies

The Department of Communication and Humanities at SUNY Polytechnic Institute seeks to hire a tenure-track faculty member (rank open) with research and teaching interests in the intersections of technology, society, and culture. We are seeking a colleague who can bring strong humanistic perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches to the scholarly exploration of technology, and whose scholarly practice engages active-learning pedagogies. The successful candidate will have a record of teaching and scholarly engagement with technology from social, historical, political, aesthetic, or other disciplinary perspectives. Historians or scholars who integrate historical methods and critical approaches in their work are encouraged to apply, as are applicants with interests related to the study and use of artificial intelligence in society and culture. We are eager to hear from candidates with a commitment to advancing SUNY Poly’s strategic plan and our mission, vision, and values. In all disciplines, we are seeking faculty to participate actively in interdisciplinary partnerships to advance the four thematic areas described in SUNY Poly's 2024 Strategic Plan: https://sunypoly.edu/strategicplan . The expected start date is August 2026. Description of Duties:

Teach courses, primarily at the undergraduate level. A typical teaching load is three courses per semester, but during the first two years of the appointment, a reduced teaching load of two classes per semester can be anticipated, to provide time to establish a research program and develop courses.

Support existing programs, including course development and student advising, in the general education program as well as degree programs such as the B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies, M.S. in Information Design and Technology, and/or M.S. in Data Science and Analytics. Maintain an active research program. Collaborate within multidisciplinary teams that pursue external funding. Engage in professional or academic activities in campus-based, local, regional or broader communities in an effort to make a positive impact and advance the recognition and reputation of the College of Arts & Sciences and SUNY Poly.
