Description:

As part of an interdisciplinary cluster hire in critical race studies, racism,
and Black and Afrodiasporic studies, the Department of Modern Languages at
Carnegie Mellon University seeks applications for tenure-track assistant
professor or early (pre-tenure) associate professor position, expected start
date August 1, 2021. The cluster hire seeks to bring a cohort of dynamic
interdisciplinary scholars with ambitious research agendas in the humanities.
The successful candidate will join a team of engaged scholars working on
issues of race, identity, and racism in US and global contexts.

In the Department of Modern Languages, we seek a scholar working on race,
racism, and critical race studies, with a demonstrated record of scholarship
and teaching in Black and Afrodiasporic identities and anti-Black racism in
the Middle East and/or North Africa, Lusophone Latin America, or Germany and
Austria. The successful candidate’s research and teaching interests will
center on race and anti-Black/anti-BIPOC racism within critical discourse
studies, critical media studies, and/or literary and cultural studies. They
will be able to teach language courses, including languages we do not
currently offer (e.g., Portuguese), at any level of instruction, as well as
courses related to their research in both English and, if applicable, in one
of the target languages appropriate to the German Studies major or minor, the
Arabic Studies minor, and/or the new major and minor in Applied Multilingual
Studies. Candidates with research and teaching interests in applied
linguistics should also be able to contribute to our graduate programs in
Second Language Acquisition (MA, PhD) and/or Global Communication and
Translation. 

The successful candidate will benefit from a strong and growing support of
interdisciplinary humanities research and teaching at Carnegie Mellon,
including such initiatives as the Center for the Arts in Society,
Humanities at CMU, and Askwith Kenner Global Languages and Cultures Room.

Carnegie Mellon University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed
to increasing the diversity of its community on a range of intellectual and
cultural dimensions.  Carnegie Mellon welcomes applicants who will contribute
to this diversity through their research, teaching and service, including
women, members of minority groups, protected veterans, individuals with
disabilities, and others who would contribute in different ways.

Carnegie Mellon University also seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples
and is a member of the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) that
assists with dual-career searches. 

Minimum Qualifications:
- PhD or equivalent international degree in Arabic Studies, German Studies,
Portuguese Studies, Second Language Acquisition, or related field. 
Significant scholarly record or evidence of a promising scholarly agenda and
evidence of teaching excellence.
