Chair of Ethnic Studies Department

The College of Liberal Arts at Colorado State University is searching for a Chair of the Ethnic Studies Department who is ready to be part of an innovative department that is in the process of integrating Ethnic Studies and Women and Gender Studies. We seek a visionary individual with the ability to recommend, implement, and innovate the philosophy and mission of this interdisciplinary department where feminisms of color are centered. A well-positioned applicant will operate out of frameworks that include intersectionality, transnationalism, engaged scholarship, and anti-oppression research methodologies that are grounded in activism and advocacy. Successful applicants are expected to build upon our commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching through critical analysis of contemporary issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, settler colonialism, and disability. This is a tenure-track faculty position. The Chair is a 12-month appointment targeted to start July 1, 2022 with an expected length of five years (renewable, pending successful performance). The successful candidate will teach one course per academic year (fall or spring semester) while chair.

The posted salary is based on a 12-month appointment. Should the Chair position end, assuming satisfactory performance, the appointment will return to a 9-month tenured faculty appointment in the Department of Ethnic Studies at their pro-rated 9-month salary.
