Description

The College of Arts and Sciences at Stony Brook invites applications for an open rank search in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS), with the expectation of hiring three new faculty members with appointments beginning in September 2024. This search is part of an initiative to establish a program in NAIS, including an undergraduate minor, and the appointment of a total of at least five faculty members over the next three years. This program, while engaging with the global, transdisciplinary scope of Indigenous studies, will have a regional emphasis on Long Island, the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and a thematic emphasis on environmental sustainability and justice.

For this first phase of the initiative, we are especially looking for faculty who could develop and teach prospective core courses for the NAIS minor. We welcome applications from scholars in the humanities or social sciences specializing in environmental justice, cultural ecology and/or Indigenous feminisms, for prospective appointments in the departments of English, Anthropology, or Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Scholars whose work pertains to the program's geographic emphasis or eastern Algonquian peoples are especially encouraged to apply. These positions will have an expectation of working with local/regional communities through outreach efforts.

The positions will remain open until filled, with priority consideration for applications submitted by December 5th 2023.
