The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Florida invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor with a teaching and research focus on questions of human rights, transitional justice, peace and conflict/post-conflict, and related fields. We are particularly interested in candidates whose work addresses how these areas are interconnected. We seek applicants with superior promise who combine rigorous scholarship with excellence in teaching, and who can contribute to one or more of the Center’s interdisciplinary research and training initiatives. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries with faculty and students from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strongly encourage applicants from historically underrepresented groups in the profession. Candidates should have their Ph.D. in hand or near completion at the time of hiring. The successful candidate will hold a full-time appointment in the Center and will report to the Director of the Center for Latin American Studies.
The UF Center for Latin American Studies is the oldest and one of the largest Latin American Studies programs in the United States. The Latin American program was formed in the 1930s and renamed the Center for Latin American Studies in 1963. It was among the first institutions in the country to be designated a National Resource Center by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) and to receive assistance through fellowships and the USDE’s Title VI program. Today, the Center is ranked among the best in the world, and UF libraries host a world-class collection of Latin American and Caribbean materials. Students can choose from among 350 Latin American and Caribbean area and language courses routinely offered by 50 departments at UF.
The Center offers a Masters of Arts in Latin American Studies (MALAS), a Masters of Arts in Sustainable Development Practice (MDP), graduate and undergraduate certificates, an undergraduate minor, and a joint law degree. The Center is linked to departments with strong PhD programs across campus.
