Cross posting.

Not only for information about the job opening
but also for information about the program.

Also for an example of the streams through which promotion runs.

Disclosure: I am a big fan of the Flash Preservation* work being done in the
Electronic Literature Lab (under the leadership of Dene Grigar*) at WSU.

* Professor and Director of The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at
Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV)

<https://twitter.com/search?q=#flashpreservation&src=typed_query>

Also for an exemplar in the genre of job posting: I believe this the first one I
have seen that uses [strong] tags to highlight key element: [strong] a focus in
one or more of the following areas broadly defined: web development and design,
interactive media arts, games studies, game design, AR/VR/XR, data visualization
and/or curation, sound studies, digital cinema, and animation[/strong]

This listing is important not only for the job searcher but also to the
researcher — cross-pollination possibilities abound in this garden: game design
+ sound studies.

I leave you all to your close readings of this or other texts in the hopes that
the good bits make it into the archive to be rediscovered a gain.
