Professor at Indiana University<br>
<br>
The College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University (IU)
Bloomington invites applications for a tenure-track position in
Race, Migration, and Indigeneity (RMI), to begin Fall 2018. RMI is
a pioneering multi-disciplinary unit that investigates the complex
social dynamics of race, ethnicity, human movement, and power
relationships. The primary geographical focus is the United
States, but extends to transnational and diasporic scholarship as
well. This new program is intended to build closer ties among
existing ethnic studies programs (African-American, Asian
American, Latino, and Native American studies) as well as reach
out to other interdisciplinary units and to core disciplines in
the arts, humanities and sciences.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will help to establish an internationally
recognized academic research program, have a strong interest in
graduate and undergraduate instruction including mentoring of
graduate student research, and a commitment to program,
department, college, and university service appropriate with rank.
The College of Arts and Sciences is committed to building and
supporting a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community of
students and scholars.<br>
<br>
The College of Arts & Sciences is conducting a cluster hire of
tenure-track faculty to help establish the program, with the goal
of hiring 2-3 positions this year. Each of the faculty hired under
this program will have tenure homes in a department or program
within the College of Arts and Sciences, and each will be expected
to teach one or two courses a year for the RMI program. Positions
are open-rank, but at least some hires will be at the junior
level. Full professors who would like to help build this
innovative program are encouraged to apply.<br>
RMI brings together faculty and students who study the relational
nature of racial formations in the U.S. Candidates should be
innovative scholar-teachers who conceptualize race/ethnicity,
migration, and indigeneity in intersectional ways and who work to
cross-pollinate ideas among various fields of inquiry. Candidates
working on topics such as social movements; intersectional
feminism(s); border politics (US-Mexican and US-Canadian);
citizenship; Latino/a, Asian American, and Afro-Indigenous
communities; Asian American and/or Pacific Islander literature,
religion, and media representations are particularly urged to
apply.<br>
<br>
Since RMI serves as a hub for multi-disciplinary, cross-ethnic,
and/or cross-racial studies, scholar-teachers trained in any of
the disciplines in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural
sciences, or technology may apply. We welcome applications from
anyone working in disciplines that do not normally consider
ethnicity as a major topic of concern, but whose own research and
teaching interests could make unique contributions to the RMI
program. Potential examples include scholar-teachers who
specialize in psychology, cognitive science, human biology,
ecology, environmental racism, or the human dimensions of climate
change.<br>
<br>
Applicants must have a Ph.D. prior to employment. Candidates must
submit a cover letter detailing their research and teaching
interests, current CV, teaching evaluations, a writing sample, and
three letters of recommendation. Applicants must also submit a
brief statement of their understanding of the importance of
diversity in a university setting. The statement should identify
the types of diversity-related research, teaching, and service
activities in which the candidate would anticipate adopting a
leadership role.<br>
<br>
To ensure full consideration, applications should be submitted by
December 8, but they will be considered until the position is
filled. Interested candidates should submit application materials
online until the search is complete. Questions about the position
should be directed to: Dean Michael McGinnis, Search Committee
Chair (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:RMI@indiana.edu">RMI@indiana.edu</a>). Indiana University is an equal employment
and affirmative action employer and a provider of ADA services.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to age, ethnicity, color, race, religion, sex,
sexual orientation or identity, national origin, disability
status, or protected veteran status.”</font>
