Advanced Assistant Professor in Gender, Bodies, & Technology, Virginia Tech

 

Review of applications begins October 14, 2011

 

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 www.jobs.vt.edu. 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, kmpowell at vt.edu.
