Job Title: Post-Doc Fellowship and Lecturer in contemporary Native North American studies
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 


Description:

The University of Virginia Program in American Studies invites applications
for a two-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship and Lecturer in contemporary Native
North American studies (including Canada, United States and Mexico). We seek a
scholar and teacher whose work is grounded in knowledge of a particular
culture or region gained firsthand through direct interaction with Native
people, while also situating this knowledge in relation to wider movements,
theories and trends. The successful fellow's work will ideally connect the
local, the regional/national, and the global through engagement with issues of
language and cultural heritage, or media production and representation. We
would welcome applications from scholars whose work develops understandings of
Native North American aesthetics, such as ethnopoetics, translation, or
contemporary art forms (material or expressive cultures, music, dance,
theater, storytelling, museums, or film). 

The Fellow will hold an appointment in American Studies or a joint appointment
in American Studies and a department relating to area of research and
teaching. In addition, the Fellow will participate in the newly formed
Americas Center, an interdisciplinary center that draws together and anchors
the University's dispersed expertise in the Americas within and across
national and ethnic boundaries. The Fellow will conduct their own research,
teach one course per semester, and take the lead in organizing a symposium in
the second year of the appointment on a topic relevant to the Fellow's
research on contemporary Native North America. This symposium will ideally
lead to a publication and significant funding has already been allocated by
the Dean's Office of the College of Arts and Sciences for the symposium. 

Applicants must be on track to receive a Ph.D. in a relevant field by May 2016
and must hold a PhD at the time of appointment. 

The anticipated start date for the Fellowship period is August 25, 2016 and
will end May 31, 2018. Pay is competitive, and benefits are included. 

To apply, submit a Candidate Profile online through Jobs at UVa (application
website below), search on posting number 0618012, and electronically attach a
letter of application, C.V. (including a list of three references), and a two
page outline of the proposed symposium (attach under Writing Sample 1). Review
of applications will begin on February 15, 2016. However, the position will
remain open until filled. Questions regarding the application process in
Jobs at UVa should be directed to Carol Westin (email below)

The University will perform background checks on all new faculty hires prior
to making a final offer of employment. The University of Virginia is an equal
opportunity and affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, veterans and
persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.



Application Deadline: 15-Feb-2016 (Open until filled)
