> I write to ask your help with a tenure-track search Yale’s Program
> in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is conducting this year
> for an Assistant Professor in LGBT Studies. As you will see in the
> ad, attached below, we are casting a wide net, but have special
> interest in candidates in the social sciences and/or working on
> areas outside the United States. We welcome applications from
> assistant professors who have already had the Ph.D. for several
> years and have had experience teaching elsewhere, as well as
> scholars who have only recently finished or are currently completing
> the dissertation (although we will ask ABD candidates to send us all
> of their completed dissertation chapters if they advance to the
> short list, since we need to be certain they’ll receive the Ph.D.
> before next year). I should stress that this appointment will be
> made under the terms of Yale’s new tenure-track system, so there is
> real chance for this appointment to lead to tenure, and we are
> looking for someone whom we can mentor through that process.
>
> I would be enormously grateful if you would circulate this
> announcement to any students or former students of yours, or other
> junior scholars you know, who you believe would be outstanding
> candidates for this position.
> Yale is home to a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of scholars
> in LGBTS and WGSS, as well as major research collections and several
> funds to support faculty research. For more information about WGSS
> and LGBTS at Yale, please consult the following two websites:
