Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Faculty Position in Critical Race and Media Studies
DescriptionThe Department of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track appointment in Critical Race and Media Studies to begin in August 2025. This interdisciplinary department, the newest at the College, offers a major and minor in which students organize their curricular plan along one of the following tracks: Social Change and Transformation; Race and Intersectionality; Representation and Cultural Expressions; Transnational Approaches. We welcome perspectives that generate new ways of thinking about media cultures and their relationships with law and governance, embodiment, and radical and revolutionary traditions (e.g., Black Marxism, Subaltern studies, decolonial epistemologies, or new media social justice activism). A comparative or transnational approach is also desired. This position involves teaching introductory and intermediate courses as well as upper-level electives in the instructor's specialty. Opportunities also exist for members of the department to involve themselves in advising and mentoring of students, to teach in the first-year Montserrat program, to incorporate community-based learning, or to seek interdisciplinary team-teaching opportunities at the College.
This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2). All full-time appointments offer competitive salaries and full benefits. Faculty at the College cultivate a richly diverse academic community, pursue innovative teaching, and create high-impact scholarship. To learn more about faculty life at the College & the Worcester area, candidates are encouraged to visit our Prospective Faculty page.
QualificationsCandidates must demonstrate excellence in scholarship and a commitment to effective undergraduate teaching in the context of a liberal arts college. Ph.D. or M.F.A. in a relevant field required by the beginning of the appointment.
Application InstructionsPlease submit a cover letter addressing the position requirements listed above, a current curriculum vitae, unofficial undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and a statement on inclusive teaching pedagogy. In your cover letter and statement on teaching, in addition to describing your research and teaching interests, please address how your scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and/or service might support the College's mission as a Jesuit, undergraduate liberal arts college and its core commitment to diversity and inclusion.
