The Women's Studies Department and Sexuality Studies Program of the 
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Iowa are 
conducting a search for an advanced Associate or Full Professor 
specializing in the field of feminist theory.  The successful candidate 
will help build and lead, as chair, a newly reconfigured program: the 
Department of Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies.  The candidate 
should have a distinguished record of scholarly publication, innovative 
teaching, as well as skills and interest in academic leadership and 
administration.  The successful candidate should possess expertise in 
theories of sexual difference and gender, and/or subjectivity, 
particularly as they intersect with race, class, ethnicity, and 
nationality.  We seek a theorist with strength in the humanities who will 
bring to our graduate and undergraduate curriculum expertise relating to 
the specific contributions feminist scholars have made to contemporary 
thought in their engagement with various strains of critical discourse.   

The Department and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are strongly
committed to gender and ethnic diversity; the strategic plans of the 
University,
College and Department reflect this commitment. Women and members of
underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. The 
University
of Iowa is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
