Required qualifications: applicants have or expect to have a Ph.D. in hand before the appointment begins, research interests related to structural racism, oppression, or Black political experiences, and demonstrated ability or potential to deliver high-quality instruction, to publish high-quality scholarship, and to contribute to an inclusive climate and attract and retain a diverse student body.
