FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The Department of Black and Latino Studies in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences at Baruch College, City University of New York invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning Fall 2022.

The Black and Latino Studies Department offers interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary courses that center the knowledge production and contributions by peoples from the African, Caribbean, and Latin American diasporas in the United States and globally.

Its goal is to provide students tools to theorize and engage solutions to social issues rooted in longstanding and persistent racial and social inequalities. It celebrates student-centered teaching and learning alongside active scholarly engagement.

We welcome applications from candidates engaged in high-quality scholarship and teaching in areas such as empire and colonialism, gender, sexuality, environmental justice, and comparative approaches to Black life and Caribbean cultures. In addition to scholarship and teaching, responsibilities will include participation in department, college, and university service. New faculty will have the opportunity to design new courses in the service of building a more robust program.
