The Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a faculty appointment in Gender and Peace Studies. Rank and discipline are open; the appointment will be made in partnership with the appropriate department. The ideal candidate would possess expertise in gender and/or feminist approaches to central questions in peace and conflict research, and in strategic peacebuilding.
Research specialties might include: 1) the differential effects of violent conflict on gender roles and identities; 2) the influence of gender on peace processes and conceptions of sustainable peace; 3) anthropological, historical, sociological and/or theological approaches to gender, peace activism and social movements. While not necessary, experience in field research and/or peacebuilding practice, and the willingness to engage students in such activities, would be an additional asset for candidates for this position.
Full professor candidates must have a sustained record of excellence in research and teaching. Associate professor candidates must show a level of excellence in research and teaching that would soon merit promotion to full professor. Assistant professor candidates must show promise of steady progress toward tenure.
Notre Dame is an AA/EO employer. The University particularly seeks applications from minorities, women, Catholics, and those who are attracted to a university with a Catholic identity. Consideration of applications will commence October 15, 2011 and continue until the position is filled.
