DESCRIPTION
The Department of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa
Barbara invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the
level of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1,
2020. The Department is looking for individuals with particular emphasis in
the area of Global Migration and Forced Displacement.

The UCSB Global Studies Department accepts candidates with backgrounds in
the social sciences, humanities, or interdisciplinary fields. We seek a
candidate who brings historical and theoretical complexity to
understandings of forced displacement, including the interrogation of the
binary between forced and economic migration. We are interested in scholars
who highlight migration not as an independent process but rather one caused
and/or intensified by the broader dynamics of global displacement and
dispossession, and that are met by increasing forms of state control. We
invite world-regional and transregional approaches to migration flows
structured by global processes and patterns (such as poverty, labor
precarity, inequality, environmental destruction, extractivism, extralegal
violence, war, state failure and illicit economies). Topics of interest
might include globalized drivers of displacement; the impact of forced
displacement on gendered, racial/ethnic, and intergenerational power
structures; state and community responses to shifting dynamics of
migration; global governance and challenges to the international refugee
regime; and how responses to migration are changing dynamics of
globalization.

Responsibilities of faculty members generally include the development of an
actively funded research program of the highest quality, teaching at
undergraduate and/or graduate levels, recruitment, supervision, and
mentorship of graduate students, and participation in university service
and professional activities. Applicants must have completed all
requirements for a PhD (or equivalent) except the dissertation in a related
field at the time of application, with the PhD conferred by the anticipated
appointment start date. A demonstrated record of excellence in research,
and a record of (or potential for) outstanding teaching are desired.
Preferred candidates should include evidence of at least five years of
study in the area of Global Migration and Forced Displacement, and a
publication record that employs an interdisciplinary framework. Successful
candidates will have a record of collaborative research, and will be able
to leverage synergies within the Department of Global Studies and the
Division. The University is especially interested in candidates who can
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community
through research, teaching and service as appropriate to the position.

Applications should be submitted electronically, and must include:
=E2=80=A2 Cover letter (detailing your research interests, teaching philoso=
phy and
experience, and professional activities)

atement

service contributions that promote diversity and equal opportunity, such as
effective strategies used for the educational advancement of students in
various under-represented groups; demonstrated contributions to the
advancement of equitable access and diversity in education; and
contributions furthering diversity and equal opportunity in
higher education through participation in such activities as recruitment,
retention, and mentoring of scholars and students.
