  Tenure-Track Position in American Indian and Indigenous Studies at the
  University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

The American Indian Studies Program at the University of Illinois, 
Urbana-Champaign (ais.illinois.edu <http://ais.illinois.edu>) invites 
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor or tenure-eligible 
associate professor with a target start date of August 16, 2011. Salary 
is competitive and commensurate with experience.

The successful candidate will have a record of research excellence and 
publication in American Indian and Indigenous studies or have potential 
to develop such a record. The primary focus of the search will be in the 
areas of Indigenous health or urban studies. Along with focusing on 
research and publication, the position requires significant 
contributions to undergraduate teaching, graduate mentoring, and 
program, university, and other forms of professional service. Current 
program faculty do ongoing research in comparative Indigenous studies, 
media studies, expressive culture, intellectual and literary history, 
educational history, sports, social and political theory, language 
revitalization, policy, governance, and performance, and the search 
committee will be interested in candidates who can complement those 
areas. Candidates with strong potential in sponsored research, 
especially tied to current campus-wide initiatives in health and 
wellness, genomic biology, informatics, and public scholarship are 
encouraged to apply. A joint appointment or teaching arrangement with 
another academic unit on campus is likely. Minimum qualifications 
include a completed terminal degree (i.e. PhD, MFA, JD) by the start of 
appointment, clear knowledge and experience in American Indian and 
Indigenous studies, scholarly achievement and promise, and evidence of 
teaching ability. Experience working closely with American Indian or 
other Indigenous communities is an important consideration.

To ensure full consideration, create your candidate profile through 
https://jobs.illinois.edu <https://jobs.illinois.edu/> and upload your 
letter of application detailing current research plans, curriculum 
vitae, and contact information for three references by November 1, 2010.
