The Department of Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego invites applications 
for faculty positions that will form a possible appointment cluster of 
one tenure-track and two tenured professors, beginning fall 2009, 
pending budget approval.  We welcome applications from scholars whose 
work provide critical perspectives on racialized groups in a global and 
transnational, or, more broadly diasporic context.  We particularly 
welcome expertise in cultural, educational equity, environmental, 
feminist, immigration, indigenous, or legal studies. 

Applicants in any social science or humanities discipline are encouraged 
to apply.  Applicants must provide evidence of an original and 
generative research agenda, commitment to teaching, and ability to work 
in an interdisciplinary ethnic studies context.  The Full Professor 
position will have teaching responsibilities in association with the 
Center for Research on Educational Equity and Teaching Excellence 
(CREATE, http://create.ucsd.edu/).  PhD in hand by 07/01/09 
for Assistant level position.

The Department of Ethnic Studies at UCSD focuses on the fundamental 
theoretical and political questions regarding the critical 
conceptualization of social categories, particularly race, indigeneity, 
culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and nation.  We are 
committed to rethinking these issues in a comparative, relational, and 
multidisciplinary fashion in order to interrogate questions of power and 
inequality.  We provide alternative epistemologies for the study of 
racialized and indigenous populations in the U.S. and globally in a way 
that produces new knowledge for the academy and the broader public.  The 
Department of Ethnic Studies is a key center of empirical and 
theoretically-based research, outstanding teaching, and creative 
collaborations that promote social justice.  UCSD is uniquely situated 
at a nexus; where the global south and north meet at the U.S.-Mexico 
border, and at the threshold of the Pacific Rim.

application letter, resume, selected sample publications of no more than
