Full-Time / Tenure-Track

Ethnographer of African American Studies and/or African American Health

The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) at Emory University is seeking applications for a feminist ethnographer with expertise in African American studies and/or African American health. We are searching for a senior-rank faculty member (advanced associate professor or full professor) in the social sciences whose work draws heavily on ethnographic methods. Faculty whose research and teaching will contribute to the growth of WGSS by advancing theoretical and applied approaches to the study of gender, race, class, and sexuality are encouraged to apply.

Our needs for faculty growth in this area align nicely with the new strategic plans outlined by both Emory College (ECAS Strategic Plan) and Emory University (One Emory). This search will complement Emory’s growing distinction in the scholarship on gender, sexuality, race, and health in the African American experience. All applicants must have a demonstrated commitment to teaching and mentoring a diverse student body. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline/field.

Review of applications will begin November 1st, 2019. Applications received up to 30 days after review begins will be given full consideration. Review will continue until the position is filled. At this time, we ask applicants to submit a cover letter, names and contact information of three referees, and a CV. Candidates’ cover letters should include a discussion of their research, teaching, and service.

Emory University, Atlanta, GA is an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, people with disabilities and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to abide by the faculty responsibilities outlined by the Emory College of Arts and Sciences (ECAS Faculty Senate Statement).

Applicant Instructions: Applicants are asked to submit their materials using the following link: (http://apply.interfolio.com/67898). All faculty applicants will be required to complete a brief statement describing their experience and vision regarding the teaching and mentorship of students of diverse backgrounds. Candidates will be asked to submit additional supporting materials if selected to participate further in the recruitment process. Questions may be sent to Professor Deboleena Roy, Chair of the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies: droy2@emory.edu.

Haverford College (PA) - Asst Prof - Peace, Justice, and Human Rights

Haverford College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in its Peace, Justice, and Human Rights program to begin Fall semester 2020. The successful candidate must have a PhD at the time of appointment. The position is open to scholars at all pre-tenure levels with training in the humanities or social sciences whose work is interdisciplinary and focuses on questions of justice, human rights, and related fields. All specializations are welcome, but there is particular interest in scholars who can contribute to programs in Health Studies, Environmental Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, or Visual Studies. The successful candidate will be expected to teach an introductory course on peace, justice, and human rights and/or applied ethics, as well as offer more specialized courses in their area of expertise, and engage in inclusive pedagogy and mentoring of an increasingly diverse student body. Haverford College embraces the teacher-scholar model and supports faculty research through programs and funding opportunities.    

Peace, Justice, and Human Rights (PJHR) is an interdisciplinary concentration attracting students from many different disciplines; it offers students the opportunity to study the history, philosophy, and critiques of the rights tradition, examine issues of justice in their local and international contexts, and apply humanistic, social scientific, theoretical, and ethical reasoning to real-world problems. The program’s goal is to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and new perspectives on entrenched problems. For more information, see http://www.haverford.edu/pjhr/

Applicants should submit the following via Interfolio [1]: a cover letter addressing qualifications for the position, curriculum vitae, a sample course syllabus or description of a class you’d like to teach in the PJHR program, a teaching statement (3-4 pages) that highlights pedagogical strategies and discusses how you approach diversity and inclusion in the classroom, a writing sample (up to 25 pages), and three confidential letters of recommendation via [link]. Candidates are encouraged to seek letter writers who together can address your abilities and promise as a teacher, mentor, and scholar/researcher. New applications submitted after 11:59 pm on Friday, November 1 will not be considered.

Northeastern University (USA:MA) - Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Digital Humanities

The College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH) at Northeastern University invites applications and nominations for several tenured or tenure-track faculty positions (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor) in Digital Humanities with a specialization in literary, rhetorical, cultural, or historical studies. Home departments may include History; English; Cultures, Societies, and Global Studies or other units within CSSH. Opportunities exist for affiliations with other programs, such as Africana Studies, Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and colleges, including the Khoury College of Computer Sciences or the College of Arts, Media and Design. The expected start date is Fall 2020.

In association with the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks, this cluster search builds on Northeastern’s  prominence in the digital humanities, computational social science, and network science. The NULab fosters collaborative work across disciplines in a community that includes faculty, students, staff, and an extended research network. The NULab supports scholars working with large-scale data analysis and visualization, text encoding and digital editing, digital archive creation, new modes of scholarly communication, information design, and more. Researchers investigate a range of topics from embedded slave narratives in early Caribbean books to the constitution of activist networks in social media. Northeastern’s digital humanities community also draws on strong relationships with the library’s Digital Scholarship Group and the Boston Research Center, and on collaborative ties with researchers in computer science, design, game studies, and network science.

With this cluster hire we seek to strengthen our faculty in support of Northeastern’s graduate certificate program, as well as our growing undergraduate curriculum in Digital Humanities. We welcome applications from those engaged in research areas and technologies across the digital humanities domain and are particularly interested in research that explores the critical and cultural significance of tools and methods in the context of questions of race, gender, sexuality and politics.

Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent terminal degree at the beginning of the appointment and a record of scholarship and teaching commensurate with rank. Successful applicants will have the ability to initiate and lead substantive research projects, engage with practitioners and communities outside of the academy, and promote innovation in teaching and experiential learning that is central to a Northeastern University education. We seek candidates who are committed to building an inclusive and diverse community of students, faculty, and staff, and we especially encourage applications from scholars who are underrepresented in the field of digital humanities.

Applicants should submit a CV and letter of interest along with the names of three references. Candidates will be notified before their references are contacted. From finalists, the search committee will request writing samples, links to examples of digital work, and evidence of teaching excellence.

To apply, please go to http://www.northeastern.edu/cssh/faculty-positions and click on the link for full-time positions or full-time interdisciplinary positions. Please address nominations and inquiries about the position to Professor Julia Flanders, Chair of the Digital Humanities Search, at j.flanders@northeastern.edu. Review of applications will begin October 1, 2019 and will continue until the position is filled.

Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is a dynamic and highly selective urban research university in the center of Boston. Grounded in its signature co-op program, Northeastern provides unprecedented global experiential learning opportunities. The College is strongly committed to fostering excellence through diversity and enthusiastically welcomes nominations and applications from members of groups underrepresented in academia.
