Position description
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UC Berkeley seeks applications for a tenure track or tenured (Assistant / Associate/ Full Professor) position in Early Modern Spanish literatures and cultures. We are particularly interested in candidates whose portfolio shows a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity. We welcome applicants whose research spans a variety of topics, including but not limited to material and visual cultures; poetics and poetry; ethnicity, gender, and sexuality; literature and historiography; Mediterranean studies; Morisco studies; pan-European Early Modern literature.
The position entails broad competence in Spanish literary and cultural studies, demonstrable either through formal study or publication record, and excellence in teaching. The successful candidate will teach a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses in the field and is expected to be able to teach at least one of the core requirements for the major.
We encourage applications from individuals who will contribute to diversity in higher education. The Department is interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research and service.
We are an open, collegial and inclusive department that supports all faculty to develop their strengths and interests. Department faculty participate actively in UC Berkeley's abundant interdisciplinary programs and initiatives, including Digital Humanities, Critical Theory, the Center for Race and Gender, the Latinx Research Center, the Townsend Center for the Humanities, the Center for Latin American Studies, and Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, among others. All department faculty teach and mentor both graduate and undergraduate students and are given opportunities to teach courses on a wide variety of topics and approaches. Our programs are specially designed for highly motivated students with a passion for other languages, literatures and cultures, for imaginative approaches to these and for careful crossing of traditionally defined geographic, linguistic and disciplinary borders. As a department, we deeply value multilingualism, nonconformity to binary gender, and peoples and groups whose citizenship status or ethnic, racial and class background has been marginalized.
The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
