POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of California, Berkeley seeks applications for an Assistant Professor, tenure-track faculty position. We are seeking candidates whose scholarship centers indigenous feminisms with a focus on gender/sexuality. Further, research engaging questions of extraction, capitalism, sovereignty, or the law and those whose analytic frames might include literature, film, poetics, or social movements would be well suited for this position. Candidates with a humanistic approach who are committed to inter- and trans-disciplinarity are a good fit for this position, and we are open to scholars across disciplines. We are interested in a scholar with a strong commitment to feminist, q***r, trans, anti-racist, transnational, postcolonial, and decolonial theoretical perspectives.

The successful candidate will teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate classes including special topics and survey classes. They will also mentor students at both levels.

The Department of Gender & Women’s Studies is founded on a commitment to social justice pedagogy. We are deeply committed to a transformative vision, and engaged practice, of diversity, inclusion, equity, belonging and justice. We do this by centering interdisciplinary perspectives on the formation
of gender and its intersections with other relations of power, such as sexuality, race, class, nationality, ability, religion, and age. Further, we understand that working toward a truly diverse educational environment demands that our analysis is always growing to respond to, and prefigure, our changing
world.
