Assistant Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies - Tenure Track
The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) Program invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor of WGSS to begin in August 2019. We seek a candidate with strong general background in Women’s/Gender/Sexuality/Queer/Feminist Studies (WGSQFS) and a specialty area in two of the following: transnational feminisms, women of color feminisms, and/or LGBTQ Studies. The teaching load includes advising senior Independent Study thesis projects and teaching Introduction to WGSS, an interdisciplinary course in feminist methodologies, a Senior Seminar Feminist Pedagogy in Action, upper-level courses in transnational feminisms, LGBTQ Studies, and/or Histories of Feminist Thought, and the college-wide First Year Seminar. A Ph.D. in an interdisciplinary field focused on WGSQFS is preferred, although applicants who hold a degree in another field with a graduate certificate or significant interdisciplinary training in WGSQFS are welcome to apply. Prior teaching experience is desirable and applicants should provide evidence of their ability to teach introductory and upper-level courses. The College of Wooster enrolls a diverse student body (21% domestic students of color and 15% international students); applicants should have experience with diverse student populations.
Applicants should submit a cover letter; curriculum vitae; copies of unofficial graduate transcripts; evidence of strong teaching (including teaching philosophy, syllabi and student evaluations, if applicable) and research (including research statement and writing sample of 25 pages or less); diversity statement; and three reference letters through Interfolio (link tbd). Interfolio accounts are free to applicants – simply press “apply”. The diversity statement should detail how the applicant has engaged and/or expects to engage with issues of diversity in the classroom and the curriculum as well as on campus and in the broader community.
If you have questions regarding Interfolio, please contact Santha Schuch, Administrative Coordinator, Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program. Questions about the position should be directed to Ahmet Atay, Chair of WGSS.
Application deadline is October 19, 2018.
