Applications are being sought for a full-time tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, to be housed in the School for International Studies with 50% dedicated workload in the Global Asia Program at Simon Fraser University, with expertise in South Asia starting July 15, 2023. Preferred research areas are indigeneity; settler colonialism; migration and diasporic community; and/or climate justice and responses to climate change. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates working within a social science framework, with preference for disciplinary training in History; Law and/or International Law; Asian Studies; American Studies; and/or Asian diaspora studies.

The successful candidate must hold a PhD in History; Law and/or International Law; Asian Studies; American Studies; and/or Asian diaspora studies or a closely related field by the employment start date. However, PhD candidates with solid indication of imminent completion may be hired at the rank of Instructor and will be promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor upon completion of the PhD. The preferred candidate will be engaged in interdisciplinary research on South Asia within its global context, which may include South Asian diasporas. Candidates should have a teaching record that approaches South Asia from cross-border and global perspectives. Innovative pedagogy and a commitment to community outreach and engagement is an advantage.
