Position description
The Ethnic Studies Department at the University of California, San Diego invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Critical Latinx Health, beginning Fall 2023. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar working in any historical period, whose research critically engages Latinx-Chicanx studies, race and medicine, critical public health studies, and/or community health. We value research that addresses gender and utilizes relational approaches.
We further seek candidates whose research, teaching, and service will advance UC San Diego's transition to an HSI, and campuswide anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, and social justice efforts with a focus on the Latinx/Chicanx community. We especially welcome candidates whose professional experience, community engagement, and personal background have facilitated their understanding of and ability to better serve students from traditionally underrepresented communities in higher education. Faculty are expected to have an inclusive approach to mentoring and advising that incorporates working with underrepresented genders and underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students.
This position is one of 14 new ladder-rank faculty positions in the Latinx Cluster Hire Initiative (LCHI) at UC San Diego. The LCHI aims to increase faculty diversity, innovative research, and culturally relevant curriculum and mentorship through increased engagement and collaboration between various departments across campus with the Chicanx and Latinx Studies (CLS) and Latin American Studies (LAS) programs. Faculty hired under LCHI will be expected to design and teach undergraduate courses that align with the CLS and LAS academic programs. They will also be expected to serve as faculty affiliates and mentor undergraduate students in one or both programs.
Faculty hired under LCHI will have multiple opportunities to contribute to UC San Diego's transformation from an emergent Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) to a full-status HSI that meets the curricular and cultural needs of Latinx, URM, and first-generation students. This includes faculty engagement with scholars across disciplines to address issues of race and racism, access and equity, and social and political debates pertinent to Chicanx, Latinx, and Latin American Studies, while also working within their home departments and professional communities.
