> 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
