Application Deadline: Applications will begin to be reviewed on October 30, 2011, but will continue to accept applications until positions are filled for start date of 07/01/12
Location: San Diego, CA
Job Description:
The Ethnic Studies Department at the University of California, San Diego invites applications for a position as an Assistant Professor of Native American/Indigenous
Studies beginning Fall 2012, pending budget approval. We welcome applicants whose work encompasses Native American and Indigenous-centered knowledge production and epistemologies. We will prioritize applicants whose research engages with gender, sexuality,
and/or feminism.
We are especially interested in interdisciplinary and intersectional research, including transnational and diasporic contexts, though applicants in all social science
or humanities disciplines are encouraged to apply. While the hiring institution is in California, we recognize the transcolonial links that also extend outside of the Americas to the Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand, and the common Indigenous political,
social, and cultural issues that have given rise to international Indigenous rights and decolonization movements. Candidates with a history of leadership in teaching, mentoring, research or service towards building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment,
including active research partnerships with Native American/Indigenous communities, are also urged to apply.
Situated in a region where the US-Mexico border zone, indigenous national and tribal governments, and the Asia-Pacific interact to produce a dynamic geopolitical location,
UCSD’s Ethnic Studies Department is a vibrant community of scholars committed to the interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, indigeneity, gender, sexuality, class, and dis/ability. The department’s innovative approach represents a commitment to transnational,
relational, and intersectional methods for producing critical knowledge about power and inequality, including systems of knowledge that have emerged from racialized and indigenous communities in global contexts. Ethnic Studies is devoted to creative, conceptual,
and empirical research; critical pedagogy; collaborations with a broad group of affiliated faculty; and social justice projects developed with and for the university, our home communities, and the broader public.

Employer: Native American Research Laboratory, University of Montana, Missoula
Position: Director
Application Deadline: Screening of application will begin November 1st, 2011. Will remain open until filled (submissions post-11/1
may be considered)
Location: Missoula, MT
Position Type: Full-Time/Regular
Job Description:
The University of Montana Native American Research Laboratory (UM NARL) was established in 2007. The primary mission of NARL is to provide advanced “hands-on” research opportunities to Native American students in a highly interdisciplinary
and inter-tribally as well as inter-culturally diverse training environment, guided by culturally relevant faculty role models and mentors. Although UM NARL is dedicated to serving Native American students, the participation of non-Native and international
students is also a priority to facilitate intercultural exchange.
Broadly, the mission of the NARL laboratory includes serving as a training facility to provide research-training opportunities for all students in STEM disciplines, through collaborative interactions with UM faculty and programs within and outside of the university.
Currently, UM NARL is equipped as a microbiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry research facility with several active, federally funded projects that provide a broad spectrum of research opportunities for student researchers with diverse interests.
The
UM NARL Director will also have a key support role in the University’s Alfred P. Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnership (SIGP) program. The UM SIGP provides scholarships for indigenous students pursuing advanced degrees in the STEM. Within
the SIGP program, the NARL director will focus on recruitment and retention, as well as serve on the program’s steering committee. Position is expected to establish vigorous funded research program and coordinate the administration activities of the NARL
program.
***Qualified candidates interested in a tenure-track position in other STEM-based departments are also strongly encouraged to apply.
***Because one of the most significant features of UM NARL, which sets it apart from other minority-serving programs across the nation, is the availability of culturally relevant faculty role models and mentors, qualified Native
American, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian applicants—groups that have been historically-underrepresented in all STEM disciplines—are strongly encouraged to apply.
Required Experience:
An earned doctorate (Ph.D. or D.Sci.) in a physical or natural science based discipline.
Applying: Upload following materials: *Please note: only five (5) attachments are allowed per application. Please combine documents accordingly.
·
Letter of interest
·
Curriculum Vita
·
Research Plans
·
Brief statement of teaching
methods and philosophies
