The University of California, Berkeley seeks applicants for four tenure
track (Assistant Professor) positions and one tenured (Associate or Full
Professor) position in the area of “Latinxs and Democracy.” Successful
junior candidates will be invited to join one or more of the following
units: College of Letters and Science (Departments of Sociology,
Demography, and Political Science), School of Social Welfare, and School of
Public Health. The senior, tenured position will be in the Chicana/o and
Latina/o Studies Program in the Department of Ethnic Studies (College of
Letters and Science).
The Latinxs and Democracy Cluster initiative brings together units in the
social sciences and professional schools to address the US-centered Latinx
experience within three overarching themes: migration and citizenship,
civic and political participation, and social inclusion and wellbeing.
These themes speak to central concepts in the imagining and practicing of
democracy because at their core they tell us about how the state
distribution of political power, through policy and practice, affects a
myriad of social issues, from racial inequality to health disparities.
Junior candidates for the Sociology, Political Science, Demography, and
Public Health positions will be expected to be able to research and teach
about the US Latinx experience (i.e. Latinx Politics, Latinx Health, Latinx
Communities). Applicants at the non-tenured level should select up to two
unit(s) they wish to be considered by. Should applicants at the non-tenured
level wish to be considered for a joint appointment with Demography, they
should select that as an additional, joint-appointment choice. Senior
candidates for the Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies Program search will be
considered at the Associate and Full Professor levels.
The Department of Political Science will recruit an assistant professor
with a research focus on the dynamics of Latinx politics in the United
States, broadly understood. This could include a focus on political
participation and behavior, representation and policy responsiveness,
political institutions, and/or changes in political coalitions. Although
the U.S. should be a core focus, comparative approaches/perspectives are
welcome. In addition to an active research agenda in this field, qualified
candidates will be expected to teach courses in Latinx politics.
