We would love to see a wide array of applications to the position below, despite the short timeline.  It is a nice opportunity to conduct independent research and get a little teaching experience in the company of great colleagues (more like a fellowship than a usual postdoc). 

The Departments of Women’s and Gender Studies and Geography at the University of New Hampshire invite applications for a two-year postdoctoral joint appointment to start in fall 2021.  Candidates should have expertise in feminist or gender geographies from an African American, Indigenous, Africana, Latinx, Asian American, or transnational perspective.  Applicants should hold a doctoral degree in Geography by July 1 or otherwise identify as a Geographer. The candidate should demonstrate interest in interdisciplinary research collaboration, be committed to diversity and social justice in research and teaching, and show promise of scholarly excellence as well as enthusiasm for undergraduate teaching. The teaching load is one course per year with remaining time devoted to independent research and professional development. The successful candidate will be invited to apply for a tenure track position to begin following the second year of the two-year post-doc. As a tenure track faculty member, it is possible to recruit graduate students though interdisciplinary degree programs.

This hire is part of a campus-wide effort to increase diversity among our faculty and students.  Our Women’s and Gender Studies and Geography Departments have a track record of leadership in this regard.  The University of New Hampshire supports a learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives, life experiences, and cultural backgrounds pursue goals with mutual respect and a shared spirit of inquiry. Please apply online using our PACES program. Instructions are available at https://jobs.usnh.edu/postings/37367

The Provost’s Office has set an application deadline of November 16 for the following materials, though we can accept late submission of missing materials from substantially completed applications.

• Cover letter addressed to Executive Director of Engagement and Faculty Development
• Curriculum vitae
• A statement of research plans (2-3 pages)
• A personal statement of your commitment to diversity and equity in your discipline (1–3 pages)
• Writing samples (one or two examples, 30 page cumulative maximum, e.g. article, chapter, dissertation chapter)
• Contact information for 2-3 references to provide confidential letters of recommendation.

Our departments encourage you to address your teaching experience and philosophy in either your diversity or research statement.
