QUALIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Spanish or related field in hand by the time of appointment. We are particularly interested in applicants who work on U.S. Latina/o literature written in Spanish as well as English, and in candidates with a transnational approach to the field.

The department is open to a wide variety of theoretical, historical, and critical approaches to the field of U.S. Latina/o literature and culture. Native or near-native knowledge of Spanish is a requirement for the position. The position involves teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses.

UCLA aims to achieve federal designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution by 2025. In preparation for this designation, the Office of the Chancellor and the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost have sponsored this search in order to recruit exceptional scholars whose teaching, scholarship and/or mentoring has strong ties to Latinx experiences in the United States. This search is conducted in partnership between the Chicano Studies Research Center and the Division of Humanities. Faculty hired through this search are expected to maintain an active affiliation to the Chicano Studies Research Center and encourage the success of Latinx and first-generation scholars.

The University of California seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to serve the people of California, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives and ways of knowing and learning. We welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. Individuals with a history of, and commitment to, mentoring students from underrepresented minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
