Position description

The Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for an open-rank, tenure-track faculty position in Native American Studies. We encourage applications from scholars in any discipline, especially those who employ Indigenous and/or collaborative methodologies and take intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches to research and teaching. Potential areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: Native American history, social movements, governance and politics, Native peoples of California, gender and sexuality studies, community studies, art, film/media studies, and environmental studies/Indigenous environmental justice.

The successful applicant will be expected to maintain an active research agenda, teach introductory, upper-division, and graduate courses, and undertake service to the department and campus.

In the Department of Ethnic Studies and the Division of Social Sciences, we recognize the intrinsic relationship between diversity and excellence in all our endeavors and embrace open and equitable access to opportunities for learning and development as our obligation and goal. We seek candidates who demonstrate a commitment to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through their research, teaching, and/or service.

Our Department is committed to upholding the university's principles of community so that every individual can be successful in a healthy, welcoming, and safe environment. We are committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in individuals who have had nontraditional career paths, who have taken time off for personal reasons (e.g., caretaking or disability), or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academe (e.g., in the arts, community organizing, or professional service).

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. Consistent with this commitment, UC Berkeley requires all applicants for Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload an Authorization of Information Release form into AP Recruit as part of their application. If an applicant does not include the signed authorization, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration.
