The Women's and Gender Studies Program (an interdisciplinary
program housed in the Department of Sociology) at Virginia
Tech invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track
position, beginning August 2012. We seek an Assistant
Professor at an advanced level with an emphasis in Gender,
Bodies & Technology. The candidate will help build this
unique initiative and increase the visibility of the nexus
of interdisciplinary expertise for which WGS at Virginia
Tech is nationally known. Courses to teach include gender
and science, gender and biology, and others. Specific areas
of research are open, but we look for a scholar and teacher
who uses feminist approaches to embodiment and technology;
an expertise in sexuality is a plus. The candidate must have
a strong record of scholarship and teaching excellence, and
an interest in administering programs. A Ph.D. in Women's
and Gender Studies, Science and Technology Studies,
Sociology, Anthropology, or another interdisciplinary degree
is required and must be in hand at the time of appointment.
The Department of Sociology offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.
degrees, and includes the Women's and Gender Studies,
Africana Studies, and American Indian Studies programs, each
of which offer their own minors, degree options, and
graduate-degree emphases. We also have two departmental
centers, the Center for Race and Public Policy and the
Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention. A Research
I university located in the mountains of Blacksburg,
Virginia, Virginia Tech is the largest state-supported
university in Virginia. Blacksburg was voted by Outside
Magazine as one of the ten best places to live in the United
States. Please complete an online application at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.jobs.vt.edu">www.jobs.vt.edu</a>. Please upload a letter of interest,
curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching
interests (use research statement field) and sample of
written work (use other doc field). Have three letters of
recommendation sent (they cannot be uploaded) to Women's and
Gender Studies Search Committee, Department of Sociology,
Virginia Tech, 560 McBryde Hall (0137), Blacksburg VA 24061.
Any additional material that cannot be submitted online
should also be sent to the same address. Review of materials
will begin on October 14, and the position will remain open
until filled. If you have questions about this position
contact Professor Katrina Powell, Director of the WGS
Program, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:kmpowell@vt.edu">kmpowell@vt.edu</a>. Virginia Tech is an Equal
