> 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.
>
> Please submit a letter of interest, detailing research agendas as
> well as teaching experience and philosophy, along with a CV and
> names, addresses, e-mails, and phone numbers of three references
