Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
About The Position
Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Furman University invites applications for an Assistant, Associate or Full Professor of WGSS beginning August 1, 2027. The department encourages applications from candidates who demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching, student mentoring/advising, and research in a liberal arts environment. We seek broadly-trained applicants with expertise in global/transnational feminisms as well as intersectional feminist and queer methods and theories. We are especially interested in candidates whose research falls outside of the United States with a preference for a focus on the Global South. Preference will be given to candidates who have conducted teaching and/or research in one or more of the following areas: disability studies, transgender studies, community-engaged activism, Black or Indigenous feminisms, medicine, science or technology. The teaching responsibility is five courses per academic year. In addition to teaching Introduction to WGS, the candidate will be prepared to teach feminist and queer theory, courses in their area of expertise, and potentially a rotating senior seminar. Candidates may also contribute to teaching across the curriculum through our Pathways and First-year writing programs. We are interested in applicants who will be highly engaged citizens of the university and make meaningful contributions to a young but rapidly growing program. Successful candidates will bring diverse perspectives and provide a rich and varied educational experience for our students.
