<br>
University of Illinois -- Assistant, Associate, or Full
Professor of American Indian Studies<br>
<br>
The American Indian Studies Program at the University of
Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
target="_blank" href="http://www.ais.illinois.edu">http://www.ais.illinois.edu</a>)
invites applications for an assistant, associate, or full
professor position (full time tenure-track or tenured position).
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
To ensure full consideration, create your candidate profile
through <a moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank"
href="http://go.illinois.edu/AISfaculty13">http://go.illinois.edu/AISfaculty13</a>
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 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:jabyrd@illinois.edu">jabyrd@illinois.edu</a>).
Target start date of August 16, 2014. Salary is competitive
and commensurate with experience. <br>
<br>
Illinois is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and
welcomes individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and
ideas who embrace and value diversity and inclusivity.
