Announcement: The Pennsylvania State University, College of the Liberal Arts, invites applications for a position in Black Feminist Thought and Theory, Gender and Sexuality Studies, or Queer/LGBT Studies for a joint appointment in the Department of African American Studies and the Department of Women’s Studies. We anticipate filling the position at the associate professor or professor level. Applicants should have demonstrable teaching experience and scholarly credentials commensurate with an associate professor or professor appointment at a major research university. While we seek to hire an established scholar in the areas indicated above, we will consider applications from other disciplines in the broader field of African American Studies and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, including cultural and social anthropology, political economy, sociology, history, philosophy, and cultural geography. We particularly welcome applications from scholars with demonstrable expertise in the digital humanities. The new faculty member will teach undergraduate courses in both African-American Studies and Women’s Studies and contribute to the dual-title graduate degree programs. The salary/benefit package is competitive, and the position begins in fall 2014.
