The Department of Women's Studies at San Diego State University invites applications for an open rank, tenure-track position. We seek to strengthen our offerings in the following area:
Feminist Science and Technology Studies:
We invite applications from scholars with a research concentration in feminist science studies foregrounding an intersectional approach between women's, gender, and sexuality studies and science and technology studies. Areas of expertise may include, but are not limited to: critique of masculinist scientific models, epistemologies, and methodologies; critical analyses of nature, naturalization, and the materiality and biology of sex, gender, and sexuality as intersecting with race, class, ability, and nation; health (reproductive; HIV/AIDS; mental health; disabilities); environmental studies (including environmental racism) and sustainability; trans-species and animal studies. We are particularly interested in scholars who work from a disability studies and/or queer studies approach.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in a related field. A minimum of a graduate minor or concentration in Women's Studies, or a significant track record of research and teaching in Women's Studies, is required. An M.S. in a STEM field is preferred. We also require the following:
- The ability to support and develop the Women's Studies curriculum in natural science, technology, and/or environmental feminism, including concerns related to gender, race, class, sexuality, and species
- A demonstrated commitment to undergraduate teaching of a very diverse student population, including theoretical, applied and activist perspectives
- A commitment to strengthen an already successful M.A. program in Women's Studies
- A commitment to collaborating in the development of interdisciplinary College and University programs
- A strong record or promise of scholarly accomplishments appropriate to level of appointment
- Experience in working collaboratively with colleagues and community to develop productive networks for education and research
