Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies



Title
Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies
Posting Number
F00089JP
Department
Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies
Position Summary

The Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies program at Bowdoin College announces a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level in the field of global feminism broadly defined. We seek a social scientist working at the intersections of gender, race, and social justice whose research is located outside of Europe and the Americas or who incorporates transnational or diasporic approaches to these regions. We especially invite applications from those who can contribute to both gender and sexuality aspects of the curriculum or who can address student interests in either social movements, law, medicine, or science in society. We expect the successful candidate to have prior interdisciplinary graduate training and teaching experience in gender, women's, and sexuality studies, although we also welcome applications from candidates in traditional disciplines in the social sciences.

We welcome applications from candidates committed to the instruction and support of a diverse student population and those who will enrich and contribute to the College's ethnic and cultural diversity. We value a community in which students of all backgrounds are warmly welcomed and encouraged to succeed. In your application materials, we ask that you address how your teaching, scholarship, and/or mentorship may support our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Bowdoin values a strong commitment to research and a promise of long-term successful scholarly engagement as well as a dedication to teaching excellence in a liberal arts environment. To support that, the College offers internal funding in support of research and teaching, opportunities for professional development, a junior sabbatical leave, and a post-tenure leave. The teaching load is two courses per semester and includes courses in the candidate's area of specialization, feminist or queer theory, and courses in our program's core curriculum. Ph.D. required at the time of appointment. We recognize that recruiting and retaining faculty may involve considerations of spouses and partners. To that end, where possible, the College will attempt to accommodate and respond creatively to the needs of partners and spouses of members of the faculty.

Bowdoin College accepts only electronic submissions. Please submit 1) a cover letter that details your scholarly research agenda and describes your teaching experience and interests; 2) a curriculum vitae; 3) evidence of teaching effectiveness; and 4) the names and contact information for three references who have agreed to provide letters of recommendation.
Review of applications will begin October 27, 2017.
