Job Details

Bowdoin College’s Program of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty appointment at the assistant professor level in the field of transnational/global feminism broadly defined. The position will begin July 1, 2025. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersections of gender, race, and social justice and focusing on sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, or Asia or who incorporate transnational or diasporic approaches to these regions. We especially invite applicants who can contribute to both gender and sexuality aspects of the curriculum and address student interests in social movements, law, health/medicine, climate justice, environmental studies, government and political science, technology, or science in society. The teaching load is two courses per semester. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong commitment to undergraduate liberal arts education.
 

Bowdoin requires its faculty to have a promise of long-term successful research and/or creative work and a strong commitment to inclusive excellence in their teaching. At Bowdoin, inclusive excellence is an ongoing collective practice that honors our institutional commitment to provide an outstanding liberal arts education and serve the common good. We practice inclusive excellence when we build capacity to engage with and learn from differences, leverage resources to disrupt inequities, and foster belonging so that all members of our community can thrive.
 

The Bowdoin community warmly welcomes people of all backgrounds. We encourage applications from candidates who will enrich and contribute to the College’s multifaceted diversity. We especially encourage people from historically excluded groups to apply. Accessibility during the application and interview stages, as well as once employed, is a priority of the College: https://www.bowdoin.edu/accessibility/index.html. We recognize that recruiting faculty may involve considerations of spouses and domestic partners. To that end, the College has developed a policy for considering short-term (non-renewable), part-time faculty appointments for academic spouses and partners and will facilitate outreach and networking for non-academic spouses and partners. Finally, visa sponsorships for faculty hires are available.

Bowdoin College offers opportunities for professional development, a fully-funded, year-long pre-tenure sabbatical leave (after three years of teaching and successful reappointment), and regular, generously funded, post-tenure sabbaticals. Support for teaching, grant-writing, digital initiatives, computing software, and community partnerships in courses is readily available to all faculty. The College also offers robust programming and resources for establishing and enhancing mentoring networks.
 

Bowdoin College accepts only electronic submissions. Please visit https://careers.bowdoin.eduto submit: 1) a cover letter that details your short- and long-term scholarly research agenda and describes your teaching experience and interests; 2) a curriculum vitae; and 3) no more than 5 pages of evidence of teaching effectiveness which could include a teaching statement, student evaluations, sample syllabi and course materials, and/or peer evaluations; and 4) the names and contact information for three references who have agreed to provide letters of recommendation.


Review of applications will begin September 3, 2024 and continue until the position is filled.
