The University of Arizona
Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies
Director/Associate Professor
The University of Arizona Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Studies invites applications and nominations for the position
of Director, contingent upon availability of funding. It is anticipated
that the successful candidate will be appointed as a tenured associate
professor.
We are seeking a scholar whose research has made an original contribution
to the interdisciplinary field of LGBT Studies. The candidate should also
have outstanding administrative and leadership skills that can further the
trajectory that has made LGBT Studies at the University of Arizona a
national leader. We particularly encourage applications from scholars with
expertise in Chicana/o, Latina/o, Ethnic, and/or Border Studies. Tenure
home will be in a department in either the College of Social and
Behavioral Sciences or the College of Humanities (as appropriate to the
field of the candidate) and thus scholars in Humanities or Social Science
fields are particularly encouraged to apply. Joint appointments are
possible. The committee is seeking an individual who is able to work with
diverse students and colleagues, and who has experience with a variety of
teaching methods and curricular perspectives.
The UA Committee on LGBT Studies develops curriculum, promotes research
and presents public programming addressing the histories, politics, and
cultures of LGBT people and the diverse scholarship on sexuality. Since
our founding in 1993, we have created one of the most active and important
sites for queer scholarship in the country. Our ongoing projects include
scholarly programs such as the Sex, Race and Globalization Project and
public programs such as the Lesbian Looks Film and Video Series (now in
its 12th year). We offer an undergraduate General Education course,
"Interdisciplinary Approaches to LGBT Studies" every semester. For more
information see our website: lgbcom.web.arizona.edu
The Director is responsible for developing programming, pursuing funding
to support that programming (including grantwriting), developing
curriculum, chairing the interdisciplinary LGBT Studies Executive
Committee, and managing LGBT Studies ongoing grant funded projects, budget
and staff. The Director will also teach two courses per year, including
the Gen. Ed. course mentioned above, and one course in his or her tenure
home department.
Applications must be made online at www.uacareertrack.com (see job
#31897). Please submit your CV and a letter of application describing your
scholarship and administrative experience on that website. Please also

applications from individuals with varied experiences and backgrounds. The
