Dear Colleague: The Curriculum in Global Studies (formerly the Curriculum in International and Area Studies) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been authorized to search for a tenured faculty position at the Associate Professor level.
The Associate Professor will have partial teaching responsibilities within the Curriculum, alongside their responsibilities to their home academic department. I write to ask if you know of one or more suitable candidates. Candidates will have an outstanding record of research and teaching in global issues and have a Ph.D. in one of the following disciplines: Geography, Political Science, or Sociology. If you know of any people who may be interested in this position, please give them a copy of this announcement and encourage them to write to me, Andrew Reynolds, Chair of the search committee, or to contact my office at 919-962-5442 if they have questions. Please also post this announcement. Global Studies (GLBL) is an interdisciplinary curriculum which focuses on the ways in which global forces shape and transform political, economic and cultural change (www.global.unc.edu/globalstudies). GLBL is one of the fastest growing undergraduate majors at UNC and draws on faculty expertise from across the university. The Curriculum is proposing a MA in Global Studies degree program, which will offer a course of study designed to train graduate students in issues of contemporary global significance and policy relevance, in which this faculty member would teach. I will be most grateful for any help you can give us in identifying appropriate candidates and encouraging them to contact us. In the meantime, best wishes for a pleasant fall semester. Sincerely, Andrew Reynolds Chair
