The Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Denison University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position as Assistant Professor in Women’s and Gender Studies, beginning Fall 2024. Successful candidates are expected to be excellent teachers, maintain a productive, ongoing research agenda that results in scholarly publications, and contribute actively to the program and the college.

We invite applications from a range of disciplines which engage in critical data and digital technologies, as scholars and practitioners in the area of critical data and digital technology studies bring particularized sets of disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise.

We are particularly interested in candidates who take an intersectional and/or transnational feminist approach to the fields of Global Health and/or Data Analytics. The successful candidate will possess expertise in social, cultural, economic, and/or political examinations of data and the digital world, as well as technical expertise in quantitative data analysis and problem solving.

Women’s and Gender Studies faculty routinely teach a combination of “core” courses at the introductory and advanced levels, plus electives at the intermediate/advanced levels each year. Faculty are additionally required to advise senior majors on their senior research projects. Denison's teaching load is a 3/2 (5 courses per academic year). The candidate for this position is required to teach in the “core” curriculum at the introductory level, specifically Issues in Feminism, and at the advanced level, specifically either Feminist Research Methods or Feminist Theory.

We are particularly interested in applicants who evidence strong potential to teach both of the advanced-level courses. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to regularly offer at least two distinct intermediate/advanced level elective courses in their area of specialization. The successful candidate is expected to develop and teach courses that reflect the WGST Program’s commitment to feminist pedagogy.

We strongly encourage applicants whose work and teaching practice could build curricular connections between the WGST Program and the university’s Global Health (GH) Program and/or Data Analytics (DA) Program.
