JOB OPENING
THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
SANTA BARBARA anticipates an opening at the Assistant Professor
level, for an appointment beginning July 1998. The position is
in the department's program in Race, Ethnicity & Nation (REN).
Subspecialties are open. We are interested in applicants whose
scholarship and teaching focuses on major racial/ethnic groups
in the United States and/or on issues of race, ethnicity, and
nation from a comparative or global perspective. Potential for
excellence in teaching and research is necessary, and a Ph.D. is
normally required at the time of appointment. To apply, send
curriculum vitae, letter of application, and arrange to have
three letters of reference sent to:
Chair, REN Search Committee
Department of Sociology
University of California
Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9430.
The deadline for applications is November 15, 1997. The
University is an EO/AA employer; applications from racial and
ethnic minorities and women candidates are encouraged.
REN is the department's innovative conceptualization of an older
sub-field in sociology, Race and Ethnic Relations.
Four aspects of our program are distinct.
First, REN focuses both on the major racial/ethnic groups in the
United States, and on issues of race, ethnicity, and nation
globally.
Second, REN combines long-standing structural approaches to race
and ethnicity with a newer cultural approach.
Third, REN emphasizes the intersection of race/ethnicity with
gender, class, and sexuality, enlarging the earlier single-axis
orientation.
Fourth, REN draws upon a range of interdisciplinary scholarship,
especially in ethnic studies, expanding the disciplinary
boundaries of the older sub-field.
