The Latino Studies Program at New York University invites applications for an Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow position (non-tenure track). This is a teaching/postdoctoral position with a reduced course load (3 courses per year) and a maximum term of three years. The appointment will begin on September 1, 2008, pending budgetary and administrative approval. Candidates must have completed their Ph.D. no earlier than 2005. We seek candidates doing theoretically-informed research in Latino Studies. The Latino Studies Program is housed with five other programs within the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. Thus we seek applicants whose research intersects with any of these programs (Africana Studies, American Studies, Asian/ Pacific/American Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Metropolitan Studies) or with Native American Studies or the study of indigeneity in the Americas. Special consideration will be given to applicants who are approaching the study of Latinos from a transnational/inter-American perspective.
