University of Illinois -- Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of 
American Indian Studies

The American Indian Studies Program at the University of Illinois, 
Urbana-Champaign (http://www.ais.illinois.edu) invites applications for 
an assistant, associate, or full professor position (full time 
tenure-track or tenured position).

American Indian Studies is searching for a scholar in interdisciplinary 
American Indian or Indigenous Studies with an emphasis on Native peoples 
from regions of North America where our campus is located, including the 
Lower Great Lakes, the Upper Mississippi, and the Mississippi cultural 
regions. The successful candidate will have a record of research 
excellence and publication in American Indian or Indigenous studies 
(tenured) or demonstrate potential to develop such a record 
(tenure-track). Along with research and publication, the position 
requires significant contributions to undergraduate teaching, graduate 
mentoring, in addition to program, university, and other forms of 
professional service. Current faculty in our unit conduct 
interdisciplinary research in a range of fields including comparative 
indigenous studies, media studies, expressive culture, intellectual 
history, literary history, educational history, sports, social and 
political theory, language revitalization, museum studies, governance, 
health, militarization, and performance. Candidates from all 
disciplinary backgrounds will be considered; however, the search 
committee is interested in candidates who complement the expertise of 
our current faculty, and we are particularly interested in candidates 
whose research focuses on design and fine arts, linguistics, language 
revitalization, environmental studies, landscape architecture, critical 
geographies, and disability studies. A joint appointment or teaching 
arrangement with another academic unit on campus is also likely.

Minimum qualifications include the PhD or equivalent by the start of 
appointment, clear knowledge and experience in American Indian and 
Indigenous Studies, scholarly achievement and promise, and evidence of 
teaching excellence. Experience working with American Indian or other 
Indigenous communities is a plus.

To ensure full consideration, create your candidate profile through 
http://go.illinois.edu/AISfaculty13 and submit your letter of 
application detailing current research plans, curriculum vitae, and 
contact information for three professional references by December 15, 
2013.  The search committee may contact the applicant about soliciting 
letters of reference at a later point, after a first review of the 
files.  For inquiries regarding the position, contact search committee 
chair, Jodi Byrd (jabyrd at illinois.edu <mailto:jabyrd at illinois.edu>). 
  Target start date of August 16, 2014.  Salary is competitive and 
commensurate with experience.

Illinois is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and 
welcomes individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and ideas 
who embrace and value diversity and inclusivity.
