Successful candidates must have experience teaching college‑level courses and be prepared to teach online and/or in‑person. Preferred applicants will have a Ph.D. in African American Studies. We are especially interested in those who can teach our already existing courses. Therefore, applicants with specialties in theater, religious studies, gender and sexuality studies, class and race, race and health are especially encouraged to apply.

Candidates with a master’s degree or with substantial years of professional work experience will be considered.

Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of the final candidates. All positions at the University of Houston‑System are security‑sensitive and will require a criminal history check.
