Assistant Professor in Asian Studies/American Studies Vassar
College seeks to fill a tenure track, joint appointment in the
Asian Studies and American Studies multidisciplinary programs to
begin in the fall of 2021. An affirmative action and equal
opportunity employer with a strong commitment to increasing the
diversity of the campus community and the curriculum, Vassar
promotes an environment of equality, inclusion, and respect for
difference. Candidates who can contribute to this goal through
their teaching, research, advising, and other activities are
encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences in this
area. Individuals from groups whose underrepresentation in the
American professoriate has been severe and longstanding are
particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be
able to convey research developments and pedagogical approaches in
Asian American Studies, Critical Ethnic Studies, and/or Diasporic
Studies. These programs aim to expand the existing expertise of our
faculty who teach Asian American Studies in relation to broader
conceptualizations of race and ethnicity in the US and beyond to
undergraduates at all levels. Vassar currently offers a
correlate/minor in Asian American Studies housed in the Asian
Studies program. Responsibilities for the position
include teaching introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses;
contributing to the development of multidisciplinary methods
courses; supervising students taking courses in Asian Studies and
American Studies; and mentoring thesis writers and student
projects. The ideal candidate will have a terminal degree in the
humanities or social sciences, and be an excellent teacher with a
strong commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship. For more

Review of applications will begin on November 15, 2020, and
continue until the position is filled. For inquiries email Molly
McGlennen, Director of American Studies (momcglennen@vassar.edu) or
Chris Bjork, Director of Asian Studies (chbjork@vassar.edu).
