Position description
The University of California, San Diego, Department of Literature invites applicants for a tenure-track position in Comparative Modernisms. We seek a candidate that studies modernist aesthetics and cultural production across multiple languages, geographic and historical positionalities, and/or media and genres. Candidates should have a substantive understanding in the field of modernism with a comparative and transnational approach that is critical and innovative. In particular, we invite scholarship that offers new perspectives and critical purchase on more traditional assumptions, approaches, and methods. This could include work that engages with global south modernisms, cultural production in non-English languages, or that centers the relationship between politics and modernist aesthetics, for example through a consideration of colonialism, race, and/or sexuality. Along these lines, we welcome work that is interdisciplinary and in conversation with fields including, but not limited to: Black Studies, Disability Studies, Critical Gender and Sexuality Studies, ecocriticism, or new media.
Ideal candidates should demonstrate the potential to build an excellent record of research, teaching, and service, as well as demonstrable interest in working within a world literature department with a focus on critical theory, social justice, and cultural, ethnic, and gender studies where faculty members work in multiple languages, geographies, and historical periods. We welcome candidates with the potential to demonstrate excellence in college-level teaching. Candidates will be expected to teach a range of graduate and undergraduate courses in literature, and cultural studies. In addition to specialized seminars, the successful candidate should also be prepared to teach large enrollment survey courses in contemporary U.S. literatures, including ethnic and African-American literatures.
Salary and level of appointment are based on qualifications and UC pay scale. Proof of authorization to work in the U. S. will be required prior to employment (Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1985).
