Jobs

Associate or Full Professor, Head, Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Cincinnati

The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for a senior social scientist to serve as department head. This position will begin fall 2010. A PhD in Women/Gender Studies or a social science discipline with a gender and race/ethnicity research focus, achievement of tenure in an advanced rank, academic administration experience, and successful grant writing are required. We are especially interested in candidates with a specialization in gender and African/African-American and/or Diasporic Studies who can lead the WGSS department, and help enter into fruitful collaboration with other units in establishing and seeking funding for interdisciplinary projects, including an anticipated Center for Social Justice. The successful candidate will have administrative experience and a solid record of scholarship and grants appropriate for a senior-level hire to lead a long-standing, well-established, and nationally known department, contributing to its financial, scholarly, curricular, and enrollment growth as well as faculty development.

The University of Cincinnati is an urban, public, comprehensive Research I institution, committed to attracting, supporting, and retaining an academically and culturally diverse faculty. The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary program, one of 22 departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. WGSS offers the BA, MA, and joint MA/JD degrees, as well as undergraduate and graduate certificates, minors, and tracks. WGSS currently has ten faculty—five full-time and five jointly appointed. WGSS is closely allied with UC’s Women’s Center and LGBTQ Office, and the Departments of Africana Studies, Judaic Studies, English, Architecture, Planning, and other units. It has also long been engaged in community fundraising in collaboration with its nationally known Friends of Women’s Studies. Please visit our website www.artsci.uc.edu/womens_studies to find out more about the WGSS Department. You may also contact Prof. Katharina Gerstenberger, chair of the search committee at gerstek@ucmail.uc.edu.

Please apply online at www.jobsatuc.com. Application deadline is March 19, 2010. Candidates should include a letter of application, a current CV, and names and contact information of three references.

In a continuing effort to foster diversity on our campus, we actively encourage applications from African Americans, people of color, women, veterans, people of diverse sexual orientations/identities, and others who may make a positive contribution to the diversification of ideas and perspectives.
