Full-Time Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Irish Studies
Boston College
Location: Chestnut Hill, MA
Open Date: Oct 06, 2022
Description
The Irish Studies Program at Boston College invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor rank. The position is open to scholars in any discipline whose work relates to the study of Ireland and/or the transnational Irish diaspora. The successful candidate will be appointed to a tenure-track faculty position in a Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences department with a joint appointment in the interdisciplinary Irish Studies Program. The position will carry the teaching load associated with tenure-track faculty members in the faculty member's home department (typically either 2-2 or 3-2).
We are seeking a scholar who will expand the chronological, geographical, and disciplinary boundaries of Irish Studies beyond its current traditional core strengths in literature and history and enhance the Program's position at the cutting edge of global scholarship in the field. We encourage applications from scholars who specialize in interconnected and increasingly integrated areas such as sociology and politics, migration and diaspora studies, race and multi-culturalism, gender, sexuality and intersectional studies, language and translation, environmental studies, disability studies, public health, transitional justice, film, visual and performance arts, digital humanities, or any other area in which Ireland is now making innovative contributions to global debates.
Qualifications
The appointment begins late-August 2023. Candidates are expected to have their Ph.D. in hand by that date.
Queries can be directed to Professor Guy Beiner, Director of Irish Studies, email: guy.beiner@bc.edu
