UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ
HISTORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS
ASSOCIATE OR FULL PROFESSOR

The Department of History of Consciousness at the University of
California, Santa Cruz, invites applications for two senior, tenured,
full-time faculty members beginning July 1, 2009.

We seek candidates with an international research reputation based on
innovative work that invites connections across disciplinary divides.
Scholars coming from different disciplines, inter-disciplines, and other
configurations of investigation and teaching are welcome in History of
Consciousness. Questions about subjectivities, cultures, sexualities,
ethnicities, histories, religions, and politics are all invited, as are
deep ties between scholarship and other kinds of engagement in the world.
Film and visual cultural studies, psychoanalysis, semiotics, social
structural investigations, historical studies, ethnography, science and
technology studies, literary studies, and poetics are all crucial to the
History of Consciousness. Regardless of disciplinary background,
candidates should have a comprehensive knowledge in the bodies of thought
and practice relevant to their questions.  We are interested in the
ability to work in a range of languages, especially non-European
languages.

We seek mature, versatile scholars, who are committed to both theoretical
and empirical questions and whose strengths extend, challenge, and engage
with the diverse research cultures that characterize the department’s
faculty and graduate students. The successful candidates will be expected
to make a sustained and active contribution to the department's research
output, exercise leadership in departmental development and
administration, advise and mentor graduate students across disciplinary
differences, assist in the development and management of the Ph.D.
program, and engage creatively in the department's graduate and
undergraduate teaching.

The History of Consciousness Department is in the Division of Humanities,
which also includes the Departments of American Studies, Feminist Studies,
History, Language Program, Linguistics, Literature, Philosophy, and the
Writing Program. The Division has a strong tradition of collaborative and
interdisciplinary work, and we especially encourage applications from
strongly qualified candidates eager to extend their teaching and research
activities across departmental and disciplinary boundaries. The campus is
especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity
and excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching
and/or service.

RANK: Upper Associate Professor through senior Professor

SALARY: Commensurate with qualifications and experience.

programs.
