"Dean's Postdoctoral Fellow"

The Department of Media and Information at Michigan State University’s College of Communication Arts & Sciences (ComArtSci) seeks a postdoctoral fellow to join its faculty, which is consistently ranked among the best in the world for scholarly productivity and teaching. As the first college of communication in the U.S. and the fastest-growing college at MSU, ComArtSci is experiencing record enrollments.

The Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Initiative is designed to enhance our academic community by welcoming dynamic and innovative scholar-educators who upon successful completion of their postdoctoral fellowship will matriculate to a tenure-track assistant professor position. This two-year fellowship is subject to review after the first year and may begin as early as August 16, 2026.

The department seeks a candidate whose work advances inclusive excellence that builds and potentially expands the range of perspectives and methodologies in human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, rural computing, game studies and design, and the relationships between technology and policy, health and wellness, and society.

• Conduct and publish peer-reviewed research or creative works independently or in collaboration with faculty mentors.
