Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies. This is a one-year, full-time appointment beginning July 1, 2021.
This position will teach four courses at the introductory and advanced undergraduate levels including one section of “Introduction to GWS” and one upper-level elective (topic open, theory-designation) in both the fall and spring terms. A teacher-scholar is sought who has research and teaching expertise in one or more of the following areas: women of color feminisms; LGBTQ studies; gender, race, and health; and/or social justice activism.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) or a cognate field with a graduate certificate in WGSS. Advanced ABD candidates in WGSS will be considered. Candidates should demonstrate teaching excellence and a commitment to diversity, equity, and justice within the liberal arts context.
Qualified candidates should submit a cover letter; a curriculum vitae; a separate statement of teaching philosophy; a diversity, equity, and inclusion statement that addresses how their teaching, writing, research, and/or service experience will enhance the institution’s efforts to support these values and an increasingly diverse student population; three letters of recommendation (one of which must focus specifically on the candidate’s teaching experience and abilities); and graduate school transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable) togwssearch@hollins.edu . Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled. Final candidates will be subject to a criminal history background check.

Known for its creative and highly engaged student body, Hollins prides itself on its nationally-recognized academic programs, its deeply committed alumnae/i network, its extraordinarily beautiful campus surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, and its unique ability to ensure that each of its students has the opportunity to design a transformational college experience.
