Pitzer College, a member of the Claremont Colleges, invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Gender and Feminist Studies. We seek a gender-feminist studies scholar and teacher who works primarily in North American contexts, inclusive of Mexico and the circum-Caribbean.  We are interested in scholars whose interests emerge from the intersection of those fields with interdisciplinary or disciplinary work in the social sciences and/or humanities, especially in relation to capitalocene-produced environmental crises.  Some areas of interest might be but are not limited to: BIPOC queer and feminist theory, science and technology studies (including data science), transgender studies, disability studies, affect theory, ethnographic practice, community engaged scholarship, and activism. The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to innovative approaches to teaching introductory courses, courses on theory, as well as advanced seminars. Pitzer College has a strong institutional commitment to diversity in all areas and strongly encourages candidates from underrepresented groups. We favor candidates who can contribute to the College's distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and the ethical implications of knowledge and action. Pitzer College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. For the successful applicant with the relevant interests, affiliations are possible with the intercollegiate departments of Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chican@/Latin@ Studies, and/or the Intercollegiate Feminist Center for Teaching, Research, and Engagement.

A complete application will include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, selected evidence of excellence in teaching and research, statement of teaching philosophy, a research statement, and three letters of recommendation. Candidates should also submit a statement in which they address how their cultural, experiential, and/or academic background contributes to the understanding of diversity at the College.

The deadline for applications is 10/15/2024

Compensation range: $93,000 – $95,000
