Education: Assistant Professor of Critical Studies of Education (Open Until Filled; Initial Review 11/18/20)
The Education Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of Critical Studies of Education. We seek candidates who study education, formal and/or informal, through inter/trans-disciplinary critical sociological, philosophical, historical, political, and/or cultural perspectives. Possible focal areas of scholarship include the following: anti-racism/oppression in education, critical race theory, ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies, diaspora/migration/immigration studies, indigenous studies, and/or decolonial studies in education. We are particularly interested in hiring a colleague whose scholarship engages the transformational capacities of education for the least-advantaged youth and communities, and animates the promise of schools and other public institutions to forge a just democracy.
We seek scholars with a promising research program as well as a capacity to develop externally funded research grants, projects, and partnerships with schools or community organizations. The successful candidate will be able to teach across the department's programs (Undergraduate Major/Minor, Master's/Teaching Credential, and Ph.D.), advise and mentor graduate and undergraduate students, and work with students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. We seek candidates whose scholarship, teaching, and service advance anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, and justice in education. We welcome candidates who bring a critical understanding of diversity to their own life experiences and background, who understand the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups in higher education, and who have engaged in teaching, research, professional and/or public service that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
