Job description

The Department of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago invites applications from candidates whose research and teaching focus lies at the intersections of Asian American, feminist, and Indigenous Studies. The position is at the rank of Associate Professor and will begin on or after July 1, 2024.

Successful applicants will have a record of published scholarship and experience teaching at the intersection of women of color feminisms, transnational East Asian migration, and settler colonial studies.  We are particularly eager to hire a scholar who can actively contribute to an interdisciplinary department that engages race, diaspora, and Indigeneity in tandem. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the Department, applications from colleagues whose work transcends, melds, or crosses disciplinary boundaries, including visual culture and creative practice, are particularly welcome. Finally, we especially encourage topics and approaches which speak to the intersectional, mixed-method, and public-facing emphasis of our departmental culture.

Applicants must submit their materials through the University of Chicago's Interfolio site and upload the following:

1. Cover Letter. 
2. Curriculum Vitae.
3. Research Statement: a 2–3 page statement in which you state your intellectual vision and trajectory, including work you hope to do in the future.
4. Pedagogy & Mentoring Statement: a 2–3 page explication of what you hope to accomplish as a teacher and mentor in the classroom and beyond, including your vision of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
5. Writing Sample: Either a published piece from a book, edited volume, journal, or, if unpublished, a work or section of no more than 10,000 words.
6. Contact information for three recommenders. 

Review of applications will begin on February 16, 2024 and continue until the position is filled or the search is closed.

All University departments and institutes are charged with building a faculty from a diversity of backgrounds and with diverse viewpoints; with cultivating an inclusive community that values freedom of expression; and with welcoming and supporting all their members.

We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University's Statements on Diversity are at  .
