Job Title:

Assistant Professor in Indigenous Feminisms

Department:

Arts and Sciences | Womens Gender and Sexuality Studies

Position Overview:

The Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Indigenous Feminisms with a start date of August 15, 2025. We seek a scholar whose research interrogates gendered and sexualized disparities alongside the dispossessions of settler colonialism and capitalist development, the imaginary and creative dimensions of indigenous justice movements, and the potentials of women- and two-spirit or queer-led innovations in preserving embattled minority and colonized cultures. We are interested in work that centers indigenous resistant practices in response to dispossession and gender, racial, ethnic, sexual, caste, national, or embodied oppressions; and/or that examines the cultural and social dimensions of land/water/air/environment; and/or who study the roles of indigenous women, queer, and two-spirit people in sovereignty struggles or who work to combat land/body insecurity and threats to community thriving. We welcome scholars who work in any geographic region, or whose work examines transnational or tribal relations among and between indigenous communities.

This position is being partially funded by Ohio State’s Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme (GAHDT). The successful candidate will be expected to participate in mentoring events and interdisciplinary programming as part of a cohort of GAHDT-funded faculty. This hire follows a concentrated emphasis of hiring scholars in indigenous studies at Ohio State over the past several years.

How to Apply:

A competitive application consists of the following required elements: a cover letter, curriculum vitae, separate research and teaching statements, a writing sample, and names and contact information for three letters of reference. Review of applications will begin on October 25, 2024. Inquiries may be directed to Professor Mary Thomas at thomas.1672@osu.edu.
