The position is partially funded by Ohio State’s Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact

The departments seek candidates whose research and teaching focus on the intersections of health, wellness, race, gender, disability, class, and/or sexuality with a particular emphasis on equity in the lived environment. We invite interdisciplinary scholars who approach the study of health and wellness through intersectional, transnational, and or Indigenous lenses. We are especially interested in candidates whose scholarship and teaching examines social equity, anti-Blackness, racial and gender disparities in health outcomes, LGBTQIA+ communities, disability studies, or the crisis of public health. We seek candidates who complicate understandings of health and wellness and whose expertise strengthens OSU’s commitment to Medical and Health Humanities and Arts. An ideal candidate would be a scholar who is grounded in interdisciplinary Black Studies methodologies as well as feminist methodologies who can offer introductory, intermediate, advanced upper division seminars, and graduate seminars in African American and African Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. We welcome applicants from a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplines who are imaginative, innovative, and collaborative scholars. OSU is committed to developing a cohort of scholars invested in the study of health equity. Departments and units across the campus will be hiring in this area over the next few years. We look forward to building cross-disciplinary and cross-campus collaborations as well as the formation of equitable community partnerships.

Qualifications: Candidates must have their PhD in hand by August 1st, 2022. Candidates with graduate training in African American and African Studies and/or Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies are preferred. Appointment is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check.
