Open Rank Position in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Macalester College

Due October 1

The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) at Macalester College invites applications for a full-time, tenure track position, rank open. We invite applications from scholars of transnational feminisms, broadly understood, at all academic ranks. This broad conception of transnational feminisms troubles divisions between international and national, global and local, and could include a wide range of foci approached from a similarly wide range of interdisciplinary and methodological perspectives, including, but not limited to: post-colonial, Indigenous, and Black diasporic feminisms as well as scholars of climate, disability, migration, globalization, labor, militarism, global health, political economy, science and technology studies, cultural studies or other foci. We are particularly interested in scholars with a Ph.D. in Feminist Studies or related interdisciplinary humanities fields. New PhDs and candidates from all academic ranks are encouraged to apply. Experienced candidates can negotiate a shortened time to tenure. The teaching load is five courses per year. 

The successful applicant will join a small and vibrant interdisciplinary department, bringing an interest in program building at a small liberal arts college and the training and experience to teach core courses in the department as well as those in their area of focus. WGSS at Macalester is anchored in trans-inclusive critical intersectionality and emphasizes the inseparable relationship between theory and practice. This position will strengthen the capacity of WGSS to offer community-engaged learning and other high-impact practices, already a foundational commitment of the department. At Macalester College, diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our educational mission and values. We are committed to the institutional change required for visioning and realizing a more equitable and socially just college and society.
