TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Temple University's Media Education Lab is seeking a 2007-2008 postdoctoral research fellow to collaborate on research related to copyright and fair use issues for media literacy educators in K-12, higher-education, and non-school settings. Copyright issues directly affect educators in K-12, higher-education, and non-school settings across all distribution platforms. Concerns about potential litigation may discourage students and teachers from elementary school to university from creating materials using remixing practices; this may have a negative impact on the quality and character of media literacy education in the United States. The fellow would work collaboratively with faculty at the Center for Social Media at American University on the preparation of reports and publications based on extensive interview data. Ph.D. preferred, although exceptional candidates near degree completion may also be considered. Salary: $40,000 +benefits. Send resume, writing sample, and names of three references by June 15, 2007 to: Professor Renee Hobbs, Temple University School of Communications and Theater, Media Education Lab, 1A Annenberg Hall, Philadelphia PA 19122. EEOC/AA/Title IX.
