The Comparative Ethnic Studies Program in the Department of Ethnic Studies, at the University of California, Berkeley, invites applications for an Assistant Professor with a social science background (#1752). We define Comparative Ethnic Studies broadly as work that theorizes race both particularly and generally; work on more than one distinct racialized group; or work on the intersection and/or co-constitution of race and other systems of difference. We are particularly interested in candidates who bring innovative Social Science theory and methods to bear on the study of race, and who use the study of race to contribute to social theory generally (articulating the difference that race makes in critically understanding history and society).Teaching duties include undergraduate and graduate courses, including a course on social science methods.
The department seeks candidates whose research, teaching, or service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher education, and who will have a Ph.D. or equivalent in an appropriate disciplinary or interdisciplinary field by the time of appointment. The University of California, Berkeley, is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty. Salary is commensurate with the level of appointment and based on University of California pay scales. Applications are due by Monday, November 5th, 2012, for a start date of July 1st, 2013. Applications should include a cover letter, CV, writing sample or publication, supporting evidence of teaching quality (if available) and three reference letters.
