The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an expected start date of September 1, 2025 (pending administrative and budgetary approval). This position is a part of a multi-departmental cluster hire in Native American and Indigenous Studies that includes the departments of History, Social and Cultural Analysis, and Spanish and Portuguese, The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study and the Tisch Department of Cinema Studies.

We welcome candidates with a PhD in English, Native American/First Nation/Indigenous Studies, and related fields with a specialization in Indigenous Literatures. Applicants must have earned a PhD by the time of appointment. The successful candidate will have a strong record of excellence in teaching and research and a demonstrated commitment to equity and inclusion.
