Assistant Professor, Modern and Contemporary Literatures
of Spain
Department of Spanish & Portuguese
New York University Faculty of Arts and
Science
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at New York University
invites applicants for an assistant professor tenure-track
position, starting September 1, 2022, (subject to administrative
and budgetary approval) in the field of modern and contemporary
literatures and cultures of Spain (18th century to the present).
The successful candidate will teach at the undergraduate and
graduate level.
The Department will consider applications from scholars working in
any area of inquiry but is especially interested in receiving
applications from scholars who focus on the history,
literature, or anthropology of immigration and diaspora;
questions of race, racism and anti-racism; gender and feminism; and
postcolonial and decolonial approaches to the study of Spain in the
world.
Individuals from historically under-represented groups are
encouraged to apply; preference will be given to candidates who are
in the process of completing their PhDs (though PhD must be in hand
by the start date of the position), and candidates who are no more
than three years past degree. For full consideration, candidates
should submit their application materials before November
30th, 2021. The search, nonetheless, will remain open until the
position is filled.
Our department is composed of a diverse group of scholars who have
worked together to create a rigorous and inclusive environment for
research and teaching. In addition to literature, history, and
philosophy, faculty in our department work in a range of
interrelated areas in the field of cultural studies (including
archival studies, animal studies, sexuality studies, migration
studies, post-colonial studies, and transatlantic studies) while
encouraging new approaches to the study of visual culture, print
culture, sound, and performance studies. We encourage applicants to
look at the faculty bios on our website to see the breadth of our
interests and to imagine how they might fit into —and expand— the
intellectual profile of our community.
We are especially interested in applicants whose work challenges
the field often called Peninsular Studies in terms of geographic,
linguistic, theoretical and cultural scope; and who see themselves
as forming an integral part of a community of scholars that
supports NYU’s dedication to a very broadly conceived field. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with
many units and projects adjacent to the department, such as NYU
Madrid, the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center, and the Journal
of Spanish Cultural Studies, as well as with other university
institutes and centers, such as the Center for European and
Mediterranean Studies and the Center for the Humanities.
Application materials: Cover Letter, CV, 1-page Teaching Statement,
1-page Diversity Statement, Writing Sample (book chapter or
published article preferred), and Names and Contact Information for
3 References. To apply please go to following
