The appointee will teach undergraduate and graduate courses, mentor students, develop a successful and original research program, and provide service contributions.


Department faculty participate actively in UC Berkeley's interdisciplinary programs and initiatives, including the Program in Critical Theory, the Berkeley Center for New Media, the Townsend Center for the Humanities, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Gender and Women's Studies, among others. All department faculty teach and mentor both graduate and undergraduate students and are given opportunities to teach courses on a wide variety of topics and approaches.


Anticipated start: July 1, 2027.


Basic qualifications (required at time of application): applicants for this position must hold a PhD (or equivalent international degree) or be enrolled in a PhD or equivalent international degree-granting program at the time of application.


Additional qualifications (required at time of start): native or near-native fluency in both Spanish and English. Candidates will have to teach in both Spanish and English.
