Tenure-Track Position in Latin American Indigenous History

The Department of History and the Program in Comparative Race and Ethnicity Studies (CRES) at Reed College invite applications for a tenure-track position to begin August 2026. We are seeking a scholar with a research specialization within Latin American Indigenous history. The successful candidate will teach five courses per year in race, ethnic, and Indigenous studies and Latin American history (ideally with the capacity to teach across a broad chronological and geographic range). The candidate will typically teach three courses in the History department and two in the CRES program. Courses will vary based on candidate interests but will include introductory and advanced courses; co-taught interdisciplinary courses on race, ethnicity, and indigeneity; and methods courses for History majors. Teaching duties also include advising year-long senior theses. The new colleague will play a significant role in shaping the future of Reed’s CRES program, inaugurated in 2018, including by incorporating the critical and comparative study of indigeneity. Candidates should have received their PhD in History or a related field by August 2026. We anticipate making the appointment at the assistant professor level.
