Subject: [Erip] Job posting
Advanced Assistant / Associate Professor, Latin American and Latino/a
Studies
Smith College invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track
position to begin July 2018. We seek a scholar interested in developing
new interdisciplinary curriculum that engages cultural geography for the
Program in Latin American and Latino/a Studies and the Department of
History. FIELDS IN WHICH WE ARE SEEKING TO DEEPEN OUR CURRICULUM
INCLUDE: BLACK GEOGRAPHIES AND THEIR HISTORIES, AND STUDIES OF SCIENCE,
TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY. We seek candidates who have a track record of
bridging quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and who bring the
vision and experience to lead the Program in Latin American and Latino/a
Studies (LALS).
Ph.D. is required in Latin American Studies, History, Geography, or a
related, relevant discipline.
Fluency in Spanish is required; Portuguese and/or other languages of the
Americas desirable. Also required is evidence of: a respected scholarly
research program; at least three years of full-time teaching and
advising; and experience in roles of institutional (or departmental)
leadership. The
successful candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to teach and
mentor underrepresented students.
Teaching responsibilities include core courses in LALS, from
introductory to advanced levels, including a methodology course and
thematic classes related to the successful candidate’s expertise and
interests. They also include at least two courses each year in the
History Department that are
cross-listed with LALS, and so candidates should have a demonstrated
ability to work in this field (e.g., advanced degree and/or graduate
training). Because this position bridges traditional disciplinary and
institutional boundaries in a liberal arts setting, candidates with
expertise in both quantitative and qualitative data (archival, visual,
numerical, cartographic, environmental, and/or GIS) are encouraged
to apply.
Tenure-track and tenured faculty members teach two courses each semester
and enjoy a generous sabbatical policy. Along with teaching and
research, faculty mentor and advise undergraduates, and contribute to
Program/Department and College service.
Located in Northampton, MA, Smith College is the largest women's college
in the country and is dedicated to excellence in teaching and research
across the liberal arts. A faculty of outstanding scholars interact with
students in small classes, as advisors, and through student-faculty
research
projects. The Five College Consortium, comprised of Smith, Amherst,
Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire Colleges and the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst, provides a rich intellectual and cultural life,
including programs in Latin American Studies. Smith College hosts a
Spatial Analysis
Lab, and many interdisciplinary programs that offer possible sites of
collaboration, including Africana Studies, Environmental Science and
Policy, Landscape Studies, the Study of Women and Gender, and Centers
for the Environment, Ecological Design and Sustainability and for Global
Studies.

curriculum is at the heart of our mission and vision for the College.
