Assistant or Associate Professor, Africana Studies and Global Health, Fall 2024
Description
The Department of Africana Studies at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant or Associate Professor of Africana Studies. Africana Studies has a 55-year history on UTK’s campus but recently transitioned to a fully-fledged department, with tenure-line faculty and a major, minor, and graduate certificate. The Department seeks a colleague, whose work focuses on Africana Studies and Global Health and whose research agenda encompasses a broad spectrum of scholarship and creative activity related to the Continent (and/or peoples) of Africa, the African Diaspora, and/or the African American experience.
With an anticipated start date of August 1, 2024, we seek an individual, whose work focuses on Africana Studies in the behavioral and social sciences and whose research agenda may encompass a broad spectrum of scholarship and creative activity related to the Continent (and/or peoples) of Africa, the African Diaspora, and/or the African American experience. We are interested in scholars whose work explores health, wellness, and/or medicine within an international or global perspective. Most importantly, we seek a colleague who will help propel Africana Studies at UTK into a leading department nationally and globally through world-class scholarship and teaching.
We encourage applications for this position from qualified individuals pursuing research agendas aligned with our Africana Studies academic unit, especially consistent with the buildout of “Health, Psychology, and Ecologies” concentrations, which emphasizes the study of the human condition (physical and mental health and behavior) and the environmental living context of African-descended people around the world. Though this position is a 100% appointment in Africana Studies, this position will include the opportunity to affiliate with other academic units/programs in the faculty members’ areas of scholarly interest (e.g., Women, Gender, and Sexuality; Global Studies).
UTK is a land-grant university and values engaged forms of research/scholarship/creative activity, teaching and service, and considers evidence of these commitments in the records of applicants. The successful candidate must have strong research skills and a research agenda that will lead to publication in academic journals and/or books and a commitment to excellent teaching and service. The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is seeking candidates who have the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals of the University.
