The Department of Gender Studies at Central European University seeks to hire a fulltime Assistant Professor in the area of Gender, Policy, and Global Inequalities. We seek a scholar who combines critical analysis of policy conceptualization and practice with a gendered critique of macro level inequalities and material realities of the contemporary world. Disciplinary background and regional specialization are open; interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches are preferred. We envision a social science scholar whose research and teaching focus on one or more of the following through the lens of gender: development, environmental issues, economic relations (capitalism and its alternatives), transnational governance, im/migration, and/or resistance to state, corporate, and institutional power. The successful applicant will also demonstrate the ability to teach an MA level course in critical analysis of policy and its implementation and to be involved in the Applied Track of our two-year MA program in Critical Gender Studies. We seek a colleague with an active, interdisciplinary research agenda and demonstrated excellence in research and teaching in an English language academic environment at the graduate level. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. by August 31, 2015.
Fulltime teaching is typically two or three courses per term, depending on credit distribution, plus thesis supervision. The appointment is for an initial four years, after which the faculty member is reviewed for reappointment with permanent contract. Promotion is expected within a maximum of six to seven years from date of hire.
