The Department of Art History, University of California, Los Angeles, invites applications for an assistant professor (tenure-track) specializing in Latinx art histories, to start July 1, 2025. We seek a critically-engaged scholar in any area of Latina/o/x/e visual art and culture, either historical (19th-20th centuries) or contemporary (or both). We will consider all specializations within the field, including Chicana/o/x, Central American, Afro-Latinx, Latinx indigeneities, global Latinidades, etc. as well as a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches, including scholars whose work intersects with ethnic studies, the hemispheric Americas, gender and queer studies, trans studies, decolonial theory, etc. We actively encourage applications from candidates whose work within US Latinx art history redefines exclusionary disciplinary categories, chronologies, and geographic specializations, proposing methodological and theoretical innovation as well as connections between Latinx art/visual culture and diasporic legacies.
Latinx art history at UCLA builds upon the critical legacies emerging from one of the first US art history departments to prioritize global studies, with long-standing commitment to Indigenous arts, African diasporic arts, Chicanx culture, and Mexican and Latin American art of the ancient, early modern/colonial, and modern periods. Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment is required. Please submit letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a sample publication, EDI statement, reference check authorization release form, and the names and contact information for three referees at https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09938. For more information, contact Prof. Charlene Villasenor Black (cvblack@humnet.ucla.edu), Chair, Search Committee. Application deadline: December 15, 2024.
UCLA aims to achieve federal designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution as early as 2025. In preparation for this designation, the Office of the Chancellor and the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost have sponsored this search in order to recruit exceptional scholars whose teaching, scholarship and/or mentoring has strong ties to Latinx experiences in the United States. This search is conducted in partnership between the Chicano Studies Research Center and the Division of Humanities. Faculty hired through this search are expected to maintain an active affiliation with the Chicano Studies Research Center and to have a track record or demonstrated commitment to mentoring and encouraging the success of U.S.-based Latinx and first-generation scholars.
In addition to the connection with the CSRC, the successful candidate will be interested in cross-field collaboration within the art history department and the larger university, given initiatives emerging from the Cesar E. Chavez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies, other ethnic studies departments, Gender Studies, LGBTQ Studies, the Fowler Museum, and the UCLA Hammer Museum. We encourage applications from candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence.
The posted UC salary scales (https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/compensation/index.html) set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment. See Table 1. The salary range for this position is from $78,200 (Assistant Professor I) to $101,400 (Assistant Professor VI). 'Off-scale salaries' and other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions. See campus compensation page for additional information.
The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists' current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled 'Authorization to Release Information' into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
