MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. or equivalent degree (at time of appointment) in psychology, human development, education, sociology, ethnic studies, social ecology, or other related field specializing in Chicano/Latino social or community psychology. Associate Professor candidates should have a record of teaching and publishing appropriate to the rank and experience or potential in securing external grants. Assistant Professor candidates should demonstrate potential for effective teaching at the college level, scholarship leading to publication, and service to the department, university, and community. Candidates must have the ability to teach and communicate effectively with an ethnically diverse campus community.
DESIRED/PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: The department of Chicano and Latino Studies is seeking a candidate whose teaching, research, and community interests focus on applied social psychology within the context of Chicano/Latino communities, and on the implications for policy and practice. Preference will be given to those who can demonstrate successful teaching and research within two or more of the following areas: social identity development (racial/ethnic, gender, class, sexuality), acculturation, socio-cultural factors related to individual and social group behaviors, and/or community health. Given Chicano/Latino demographic and cultural trends due to such factors as immigration, inter-group and intra-group relations, and an expanding middle class, the successful candidate will have a foundation in theories of the development of individual and social identities in the context of socio-political and economic relations. The department is particularly interested in candidates who use various theoretical perspectives and diverse methodologies (e.g. quantitative/statistical analyses, case studies, critical ethnographies, critical policy studies, critical feminist epistemologies, and critical race theory) in researching/teaching in the aforementioned areas. Preference will also be given to candidates who can demonstrate success in mentoring students outside the classroom, and working with and advising student organizations and community-based organizations (e.g. developing internships and service learning within U.S. Latino communities, organizations and/or institutions).
DUTIES: The appointee will be responsible for a normal teaching assignment, usually 12 units per semester. Appointee will teach existing and develop new undergraduate Chicano and Latino Studies courses in the areas listed above. Duties will include the usual departmental responsibilities such as keeping regular office hours, advising students, participating in department events (e.g. faculty colloquia and lectures) and in university governance. The appointee will be encouraged to pursue grants and development opportunities and to establish connections with student organizations and community organizations.
SALARY RANGE: Commensurate with background and teaching experience. Probable beginning salary for Assistant Professor is $59K - $61K annually and for Associate Professor is $62K - $66K annually.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION: Letter of application addressing qualifications, curriculum vita (including current email address), three recent letters of recommendation, sample manuscripts or publications, teaching portfolio (e.g. statement of teaching philosophy, course syllabi) and official transcripts from institution awarding highest degree.
