Assistant Professor of Native American Literature and Indigenous Studies

The Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) Department at Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH) invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Native American Literature and Indigenous Studies, with the appointment anticipated to begin on July 1, 2023. We are interested in all approaches related to Native American and/or Indigenous literatures, particularly those that engage with the global and hemispheric contexts of Indigenous literary and cultural production from the nineteenth century to the present. Appropriate secondary fields include but are not limited to: women’s, gender and sexuality studies; ecocriticism or environmental humanities; oral and traditional literatures; poetry and poetics; comparative literary studies; critical race theory; ethnic studies; Pacific Islander studies; queer theory; performance and media studies; digital studies; and creative writing. Core teaching responsibilities will involve courses in Native American and/or Indigenous literatures, media, and/or cultural studies. Applicants should have a demonstrated trajectory of outstanding scholarship and teaching in the field, the potential for broader forms of community, institutional, and administrative leadership, and a body of scholarly work that will complement but not duplicate existing areas of expertise in Native American and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth. Dartmouth has a long standing commitment to interdisciplinary studies and NAIS has long-established relations with other departments and units whose interests and activities in Indigenous studies intersect with our own.
