Faculty Position: Assistant Professor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality
Studies.
Scripps College, a women’s liberal arts college with a strong
interdisciplinary tradition, invites applications for a tenure-track
assistant professorship in the Department of Feminist, Gender and
Sexuality Studies.
The Department invites applications for a tenure-track appointment for
Fall of 2015. We are seeking candidates who specialize in intersectional
and/or transnational queer, feminist studies, with an emphasis on queer
theory. We particularly welcome candidates with research areas that
include—but are not limited to—critical race theory and sexualities'
studies, settler colonialism and indigenous studies, imperialisms, and
postcolonial studies. The department also seeks a colleague who will
build innovative pedagogical and research connections to antiracist,
feminist social justice work within (either) local, regional, or
transnational networks and communities.
The Department is looking for a colleague who is also an innovative
teacher with a strong commitment to undergraduate liberal arts
education. The teaching load is five courses per year and advising on
senior theses. Participation in the Core Curriculum in the
Interdisciplinary Humanities program is expected. Ph.D. preferred.
The Review of Applications will begin October 1, 2014. Preliminary
interviews will be held at the Fall meetings of the National Women's
Studies Association, the American Studies Association and the American
Anthropological Association.
