Doctorate or other terminal degree in computer science, interactive media, instructional technology, or human-computer interaction is highly desirable.

We particularly seek candidates with background in programming, interactive media, game and simulation development, user-centered design, and/or media studies.

The December 2006 RCCS (Resource Center for Cyberclture Studies) book reviews are here, and there are lots. More than twice the usual number of books have been reviewed, and as you might expect, many are on topics close to the hearts of Grand Text Auto:

• Allegories of Communication: Intermedial Concerns from Cinema to the Digital, eds. John Fullerton and Jan Olsson
• Close Reading New Media: Analyzing Electronic Literature, eds. Jan Van Looy and Jan Baetens
• Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media, eds. Mary E. Hocks and Michelle R. Kendrick
