Candidates must hold a PhD degree in a relevant field by the time of appointment.

Also welcome are applicants whose work focuses on issues of colonialism, globalization, and indigenous race/gender justice or on the Global South (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean). Candidates should have demonstrated expertise in interdisciplinary scholarship. Applied experience addressing gender, race and environment issues at local/community levels is an asset. Candidates must have teaching experience and be able to contribute to teaching, advising, and research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including supervision of doctoral research.
