global/transnational gender studies

The Women and Gender Studies Program (WGST) at the University of
Colorado at Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track position at
the rank of assistant professor in the field of global/transnational
gender studies.

The successful candidate will have a well-developed research agenda and
a strong commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate
levels. Although academic discipline and area field are open, WGST is
looking for a scholar whose work will complement (rather than duplicate)
our existing strengths in political science and Latin America. Within
the interdisciplinary field of global/transnational gender studies,
areas of interest might include migration, human trafficking, gender and
health, feminisms, human rights, the feminization of poverty, and
transnational cultural flows. The qualified candidate's research and
teaching will demonstrate a solid grounding in feminist studies. In
addition, she/he should be prepared to teach one or more of the
program's core courses; contribute to the program's thematic emphasis on
gender, race, and globalization; and help strengthen this emphasis in
cognate departments at CU. The appointment is scheduled to begin August
2008.

We invite applications from advanced ABDs and recent Ph.D.s, including
untenured assistant professors with several years' experience. We will
begin to review applications on November 1, 2007. Send a letter of
interest, CV, writing samples, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and
three letters of recommendation.
