About The Position

The University of New Mexico’s Program of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies invites applications for a full-time, nine-month Lecturer III appointment beginning August 2, 2027. The program seeks a generalist with knowledge and teaching experience in at least two undergraduate concentrations: feminist, queer, and/or trans studies, and intersectional approaches to gender, sexuality, race, and other structures of difference and inequality. Various theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome. The successful candidate will teach required upper-division undergraduate WGSS courses and other undergraduate and graduate courses according to program needs. The faculty member will contribute to the core curriculum, including feminist, trans, queer, and intersectional theories and methods, and develop courses in their areas of specialization. Graduate teaching may be possible depending on the candidate’s specialty and department needs. The ability to teach across multiple areas of the curriculum and contribute to introductory and advanced courses is especially desirable. Advising graduate students in WGSS and related interdisciplinary areas is expected. The candidate is also expected to contribute through teaching and service. Workload is determined by the program Director and University policies.
