> The Department of Gender Studies at Indiana University -  
> Bloomington announces a search for a senior scholar (advanced  
> associate or full professor) specializing in feminist work on  
> gender/sexuality and race/racialization and ethnicity. We are  
> especially seeking candidates working on interdisciplinary,  
> intersectional analyses of gender/sexuality/race/ethnicity in the  
> context of US culture and politics, but we will consider scholars  
> who approach these issues within a more broadly conceived   
> diasporic framework.
> The Department invites applications from interdisciplinary feminist  
> scholars who are actively addressing core questions of gender and  
> sexuality through ambitious research agendas and energetic teaching/ 
> mentoring on the undergraduate and graduate levels.  Applicants  
> will be expected to assist in the continued development of the  
> doctorate (now in its second year), teach core Gender Studies  
> graduate and undergraduate courses, and work collectively to  
> enhance the Department. The successful applicant will present an  
> active record of scholarship and teaching that is consistent with  
> tenure at a research university. Preference will be given to  
> candidates with teaching experience in Women's and/or Gender  
> Studies. The appointment will begin in fall 2008.
> The Department is in an extraordinary period of growth.  In 2006,  
> we inaugurated the first doctoral program in Gender Studies in the  
> nation and now have 15 doctoral students.  In addition, the number  
> of undergraduate majors has tripled over the past three years.    
> The Department now offers a PhD, a Bachelor of Arts, an  
> undergraduate minor, and a PhD minor in Gender Studies.  At  
> present, our faculty consists of 9 FTE, including seven full-time  
> (100%) positions, and seven jointly-appointed lines.   Over twenty- 
> five additional faculty at Indiana University are affiliated with  
> the Department and we work closely with other units on campus, most  
> notably the Kinsey Institute for Research on Sex, Gender, and  
> Reproduction.
> Our faculty has remarkable breadth, focusing on gender and  
> sexuality as seen through multiple lenses, including culture/media,  
> social structural/political economic, medical/scientific, and  
> transnational/comparative perspectives.  We seek to complement our  
> departmental strengths in the study of sexualities; bodies and  
> their technologization and medicalization; representation and  
> cultural production; and feminist epistemologies.
>
> Indiana University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity  
> employer and is committed to employing faculty who will enhance the  
> rich diversity of our academic community.
