We are looking for a full time permanent colleague at RISD to teach
Political Economy. As you will see the post is broadly defined and could
interest colleagues in Design Studies. If you have questions please contact
the search chair, Jennifer Prewitt-Freilino ([log in to unmask]). Feel free
to circulate widely and apologies for cross posting.
best,
Damian White
Assistant Professor of Political Economy, The Rhode Island School of Design
The Department of History, Philosophy and the Social Sciences (HPSS) at the
Rhode Island School of Design invites applications for a full-time faculty
appointment of an Assistant Professor of Political Economy starting in fall
of 2016. The suitable candidate will have undergraduate teaching experience
and a broad background in Political Economy (PhD by start date in Political
Science, Economics, Geography, International Relations, Sociology,
Anthropology, Global Studies, or other relevant interdisciplinary degree).
We are particularly interested in appointing a colleague with expertise in
one or more of the following areas: (i) globalization, global supply
chains, the social science of global consumption; (ii) the political
economy of development and development studies with possible foci of
attention on the impact of industrialization and urbanization in East Asia,
South Asia, or Latin America; (iii) the social science of advanced
manufacturing, contemporary industrial restructuring, the emerging global
economy of design and social innovation studies; (iv) the political economy
of work, labor, and/or gender as this pertains to the above areas.
HPSS (http://www.*risd.edu <http://risd.edu>*/Academics/HPSS/) is a
multidisciplinary department within the Division of Liberal Arts. Our
students are art and design majors who take one third of their courses in
the Liberal Arts. For those interested, RISD offers unique opportunities
for collaborative research and teaching with faculty and students in art
and design disciplines (e.g., industrial design, apparel, textiles,
architecture, film, etc.). Full-time faculty teach 6 courses a year at
RISD; in HPSS, these are typically two seminar classes (15 students), two
introductory classes (21 students) and two lecture classes (30
students). RISD supports professional practice with sabbaticals,
pre-critical review leave, conference funds and professional development
grants.
Please submit a C.V., cover letter that speaks to your interest in
RISD, statement of teaching philosophy, a list of proposed courses and
sample syllabi, a research statement and examples of scholarly work, and
three letters of recommendation via RISD's online employment website:
www.risd.edu/jobs. Review of applications will begin on November 13 and
will continue until the position is filled. We intend to conduct on campus
interviews for finalists in January 2016.
RISD is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage applications from
candidates who will enrich and contribute to the cultural and ethnic
diversity of our College. RISD does not discriminate on the basis of race,
