This two-semester post-baccalaureate fellowship program is designed to help talented students from groups traditionally underrepresented in their academic disciplines, including first-generation graduate students and those from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, to bridge the gap between an undergraduate degree and a graduate training program. Fellows enjoy financial support and mentoring by both faculty and graduate students as they prepare themselves for a successful program of doctoral studies. In addition to strong research experiences, Fellows will receive professional guidance and focused support for the graduate school application process.

The Department of Anthropology at University of Oregon invites applications for a full-time Assistant Professor to begin September 16, 2024. We seek an anthropologist at the cutting edge of research in the expressive cultures of Latinx/e communities broadly understood including Afro-descendent and Indigenous communities in diaspora from Latin America and the Caribbean, Mexican American, Chicanx/e, Latinx/e and other communities in the U.S. We define expressive culture broadly to include performances of many kinds, arts, ritual, medicinal knowledge and curing, vernacular storytelling and music, audio and visual forms of expression, museums and exhibits of all kinds, and more. The ideal candidate would be an interdisciplinary scholar working in cultural anthropology and/or related fields whose work critically engages with expressive culture as it relates to or affects those with Latinx/Latine identities broadly understood.

The successful candidate will be a specialist in Mexico-US border literatures and cultures with the ability to teach in Spanish and English courses for Chicanx and Latinx Studies, Latin American Studies, and the Literature Department. In addition to literature, the candidate’s subareas of specialization might include but not be limited to film, performance studies, visual art, music, TV and digital culture. Intersectional approaches to border cultural production and ability to draw transnational connections with other borderlands in Latin America and elsewhere, as well as expertise in Indigenous studies, would be welcome additions to the candidate’s profile.

The University of Oregon, Department of Sociology, aims to hire a sociologist of race and ethnicity whose work focuses on Latinx populations. Beyond a required focus in race/ethnicity and Latinx populations, we welcome applicants using a variety of methodologies and with strengths in additional subfields. The Assistant Professor is expected to continue an active and innovative research program that directly engages Latinx sociology. The ideal candidate will hold a demonstrated record of rigorous scholarship, commitment to mentoring underrepresented students, inclusive teaching, and contributions to professional and/or community service.

Faculty hiring is one of the most crucial activities in Emory College of Arts and Sciences. The hiring process involves both the Office of Faculty in ECAS and the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) in the Provost’s office. The ECAS Affirmative Action Committee and the OEI review all searches for adherence to college and university-level procedures for the recruitment and selection of regular faculty (tenured, tenure-track, and lecture-track), as well as for compliance with federal employment law.
