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 visual studies, including
digital and/or analog art, with a focus on gender/sexuality. Candidates
should have thorough training
in the discipline of women, gender, and sexuality studies. We are
looking for candidates with a humanistic approach who are committed to
inter- and trans-disciplinarity, and we are open to scholars across
disciplines.
We are
interested in a scholar with a strong commitment to feminist, queer,
anti-racist, transnational, postcolonial, and decolonial theoretical
perspectives. We especially welcome
scholars-artists who focus on the Global South and/or Indigenous
Studies and those who take a creative approach to knowledge production.
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. We are interested in applicants who
will advance diversity, equity, and inclusion through
their teaching, research, and/or service. Our excellence can only be
fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment
to these values. Successful candidates for our faculty positions will
demonstrate evidence of a commitment to advancing
equity and inclusion. Additional information about programs and
resources supporting the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion,
and belonging is available at:
The
department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty,
including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested
in individuals who have had nontraditional
career paths, who have taken time off for personal reasons (e.g.,
caretaking or disability), or who have achieved excellence in careers
outside academe (e.g., in the arts, community organizing, or
professional service). For information about potential relocation
to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses,

Considering
the significant disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic,
particularly for disadvantaged groups, in our evaluation of applicants,
dips in productivity in otherwise
strong records occurring with the onset of the pandemic will be
evaluated with the context of the pandemic in mind.
