Assistant Professor and Provost’s Distinguished Faculty Fellow
Georgetown University: Main Campus: Walsh School of Foreign Service
Location: Main Campus
Open Date: Sep 20, 2024
Description
The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University invites applications from candidates for a faculty position at the Assistant Professor level beginning in the Fall of 2025 in Environment, Societies, and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean. The ideal candidate should have a strong interest in research and teaching related to the social science aspects of environment, societies, and development in Latin America. Potential topics of research include, but are not limited to, the implications of climate change and environmental degradation for migration, indigenous communities, politics, governance, conflict, and economic development, as well as how those phenomena can influence climate change and the environment. We encourage applications from candidates working on these topics within and across academic fields such as anthropology, economics, geography, international relations, political science, and sociology. Candidates must demonstrate potential for important research and have a PhD by the employment start date. This position is part of Georgetown University’s Provost’s Distinguished Faculty Fellows Program, which seeks to hire candidates whose scholarship focuses on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Provost Distinguished Fellows Program favors recent Ph.D. candidates and exempts them from teaching and service responsibilities in their first year in order to focus full-time on their research. Each Fellow is assigned mentors and will interact with a growing cohort of other Fellows at Georgetown.
Application Instructions
We will start reviewing applications by October 21. Applications should include the following:
- Cover letter
- Curriculum vitae
- Job market paper
- Three letters of recommendation
- Optional: A statement detailing the candidate’s contributions and commitment to diversity and inclusion through mentorship, research, teaching and service.
All applications and supporting materials must be submitted through the following link: http://apply.interfolio.com/155287. Faxed, emailed, or mailed applications will not be accepted.
The projected salary range for this position is $95,000 – $110,000, which represents the full range of anticipated compensation for this position. Compensation is determined by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the candidate’s individual qualifications, experience, education, skills, and certifications, as well as the University’s business needs and external factors.
Georgetown University is fully dedicated to achieving a diverse faculty and staff. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity and expression, and sexual orientation), disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic.
