Assistant Professor of Critical Global Studies

Pitzer College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in Critical Global Studies beginning in Fall 2027. Critical Global Studies has a strong commitment to social justice, especially in addressing power inequalities. We seek candidates whose research and teaching in global studies decenter both the nation state and western epistemologies. Areas of special interest include global inequalities, migration and refugee studies, peace and conflict studies, and human rights, with a focus on the global south.

The successful candidate will become a member of the interdisciplinary Critical Global Studies (CGS) field group at Pitzer and will collaborate with colleagues in other field groups that cross-list courses with CGS. The successful candidate will teach five courses annually, including introductory methods and theory courses in Critical Global Studies. A Ph.D. in Global Studies or a related field, such as Anthropology, Political Studies, or History, is required at the time of appointment.

The initial appointment will be at the assistant professor rank. Applications from candidates who are advanced assistant and associate professors are especially welcomed, with the opportunity for accelerated tenure subject to Pitzer’s tenure and review policies.

Pitzer College welcomes candidates who can contribute to the College’s mission and distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and the ethical implications of knowledge and action. Pitzer College is an Equal Opportunity Employer. For the successful applicant with the relevant interests, affiliations are possible with the intercollegiate departments of Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chican@/Latin@ Studies, and/or the Intercollegiate Feminist Center for Teaching, Research, and Engagement.

Collaborations with the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability, the Institute for Global-Local Action and Study, the Community Engagement Center, and the CASA Pitzer program are encouraged.

Compensation range: $96,K

The salary of the finalist(s) selected for this role will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, internal equity, experience, education, specialty, and training.

Pitzer College is committed to providing comprehensive benefits to eligible employees and their eligible dependents. Our benefits package includes competitive compensation, health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement savings plans, generous paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick time, parental leave, bereavement, etc.), tuition reimbursement, tuition exchange program participation and more.
