College of Arts and Sciences: Cluster Hiring Initiative (Open Rank)

The College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Miami (UM) is launching a cluster hiring initiative to appoint up to ten tenured or tenure-track faculty members who fall in one of the following categories:

• Faculty who would bring visibility, renown, and additional impact to our departments;
• Faculty who would add to the long-standing goal of increasing diversity across our departments;
• Faculty in the humanities and social sciences whose intellectual and pedagogical expertise engages race. These appointments will help build UM and the College into an internationally recognized incubator for new, high impact ideas on how race intersects with other meaningful issues such as gender, religion, housing insecurity, climate change, ethnobiology, demography, technology, migration patterns, and health outcomes to name but a few.

Applications will be considered at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor ranks. Each appointment is expected to start on August 15, 2021.  To be eligible for each appointment, candidates must hold a Ph.D. or terminal degree in their field by the appointment start date.   

Applications can be submitted via the UM Careers website at https://umiami.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UMFaculty and shall include:

• Letter of interest that describes your anticipated contributions to scholarship, teaching, and service in the College of Arts & Sciences
• Current CV
• Research statement

• A statement that explains your contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion
