The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute (LACSI) at the University

teaching load is four courses per year, typically two courses in Latin
American and Caribbean Studies and two courses in the other department.
Creating and teaching courses cross-listed between LACSI and other departments
is possible. There will be ample opportunities for collaboration with LACSI
multi-disciplinary faculty affiliates, several of whom are involved in our
Latin American Indigenous Languages Initiative and with UGA’s Institute of
Native American Studies.

Candidates should hold the degree of Ph.D. in religion, literatures/cultures,
anthropology, ethnomusicology, or linguistics by the time of appointment.
Candidates with Ph.D.s from other or related disciplines will also receive
full consideration if the respective unit supports the appointment. Native or
near-native fluency in Spanish or Portuguese as well as the knowledge of and
ability to teach at least one indigenous Latin American or Caribbean language
are preferable. Ability to develop and teach hybrid and/or online courses, and
contribute to study abroad, experiential learning and/or service learning is
also desirable. 

Applicants should send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, writing
sample, and three letters of recommendation. Completed applications received
