Liberal Studies at New York University invites applications for
three Clinical Assistant Professor positions to begin September 1,
2022, pending administrative and budgetary approval.
The Liberal Studies Core is a dynamic liberal arts curriculum that
provides a global and interdisciplinary foundation for nearly 100
NYU majors. The Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts is an
innovative global studies major grounded in the spatial,
conceptual, and temporal understandings of a highly interconnected
world, with a program of study that is distinguished by
experiential learning, study away, and independent research focused
in an interdisciplinary concentration. In both the LS Core and the
GLS Major, small, seminar-style classes and close faculty-student
interaction ensure the benefits of a liberal arts college within a
large urban research university. We are especially interested in
hiring qualified candidates who can contribute through their
research, teaching and service to the diversity and excellence of
the Liberal Studies community.
We seek applicants for the following positions:
Global Works and Society:
Ph.D. in Political Theory, Philosophy, History, or related fields
in the social sciences. Candidates must have the ability to teach
global works that examine enduring questions of philosophy,
religion, political and social theory, and history from antiquity
to the early 18th century in the Global Works and Society sequence
of the Core Curriculum. Candidates must embrace interdisciplinary
and intersectional approaches from a variety of global perspectives
and must have the ability to examine relationships of power and to
interrogate the historical roots of current challenges. Candidates
must have the ability to teach upper-division seminars in their
areas of expertise.
East Asian Studies:
Ph.D. in East Asian Studies, Cultural Studies, Comparative
Literature, History, Political Science, or related fields.
Candidates must have the ability to teach interdisciplinary,
intersectional seminars on East Asia to introduce undergraduates to
the politics, history, intellectual thought, and development of the
region within a global context, interrogating the historical and
interconnected roots of current geopolitical and cultural
challenges, including ethno-national and gender-based violence,
racism, and neocolonialism. Preference for expertise in Korea
and/or Japan. Candidates must have the ability to teach upper
division seminars in their areas of expertise as well as first and
second year seminars in the Core Curriculum.
Indigenous Studies:
Ph.D. in Indigenous Studies, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Ethnic
Studies, Folklore, Comparative Literature, History, Religious
Studies, or related fields. Candidates may have a regional
specialization in Africa, the Americas including the Caribbean,
East Asia, the Middle East, or South Asia, and must have the
ability to teach interdisciplinary, intersectional seminars that
introduce undergraduates to Indigenous Studies from global
perspectives and interrogate the historical and interconnected
roots of contemporary geopolitical and cultural challenges.
Candidates must be able to teach upper division seminars in their
areas of expertise as well as first and second year seminars in the
Core Curriculum.
Minimum qualifications: Ph.D. by the date of appointment; three
years of college-level teaching experience; and demonstrated

candidates who share Liberal Studies’ commitment to diversity,
equity, and inclusion, and who can contribute to the diversity of
