Position description
 
The Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Chicanx/Latinx Studies at the rank of assistant professor. We encourage applications from scholars that take intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches to research and teaching. The area of specialty is open to scholars of Latino Studies broadly defined. We especially encourage applications from candidates whose areas of expertise include Central American Studies, as well as Afro Latinx studies, Indigenous Latinx Studies, Latinx Inequalities, and Latinx Environmental Studies, among other areas.
 
The successful applicant will be expected to maintain an active research agenda, teach introductory, upper- division, and graduate courses, and undertake service to the department, campus, and university.
 
In the Department of Ethnic Studies and the Division of Social Sciences, we recognize the intrinsic relationship between diversity and excellence in all our endeavors and embrace open and equitable access to opportunities for learning and development as our obligation and goal. We seek candidates who demonstrate a commitment to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through their research, teaching, and/or service.

We are committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents.

Consistent with this commitment, UC Berkeley requires all applicants for Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload an Authorization of Information Release form into AP Recruit as part of their application. If an applicant does not include the signed authorization, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration.
