Assistant Professor in Gender and Communication
The Department of Communication in the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information (CMDI) at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) invites applicants for a tenure-track, assistant professor position in Gender and Communication. Eligible candidates will have expertise, as well as a robust agenda and developing record of research, in aspects of gender that connect with, expand, and deepen the Department’s strengths in one or more of its three core areas: Community & Social Interaction, Organizational Communication, and Rhetoric & Culture. Broadly speaking, this means that eligible candidates will study gender and communication in terms of discourse, culture, and community; organizing and institutions; and/or rhetorical critique and praxis.
Strong candidates will demonstrate, in their research and pedagogy, a capacity to inform the complexity of gender as it entangles with multiple relations and technologies of power; for example, through sustained attention to race, sexuality, dis/ability, class, coloniality and imperialism, capitalism and neoliberalism, geopolitics and global flows, environmental/climate politics, computational governance, and/or security and carceral logics and industries. Strong candidates will also be open toward an interdisciplinary orientation, in that their scholarship will be engaged and conversant with historical and contemporary developments in gender studies, such as feminist, queer, and trans theories. Successful candidates will contribute to graduate education, particularly around gender, in ways that build connections across the Department and CMDI. Additionally, they will help to cultivate, teach, and supervise the Department’s undergraduate curriculum and pedagogy related to gender, while also teaching other communication courses related to their expertise
Please apply by October 22, 2025, for full consideration. The position will remain open until filled.
For questions, please contact search chair, Professor Karen Ashcraft at karen.ashcraft@colorado.edu.

Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies
The University of Portland invites applications for a tenure-track position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies to begin August 15, 2024.
The Environmental Studies department is a transdisciplinary department, offering a B.S. in environmental science and a B.A. in environmental ethics and policy. We are looking for a scholar to join our department who is either a physical/ natural scientist or social scientist with a background (master’s degree) in science. Our curriculum is designed to give students a broad sense of both the scientific and ethical implications surrounding environmental issues. The B.S. track leads to a degree in environmental science, a broadly conceived course of study that involves biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science, along with a strong foundation in the social sciences and humanities. The B.A. track leads to a degree in environmental ethics and policy, which combines a background in science with a discourse that centers on philosophy, theology, ethics, political science, and other fields. The environmental studies program is committed to diversifying our curriculum and our faculty; we have recently added a course in environmental justice. We are also committed to actively recruiting underrepresented students in research and we participate in a transparent, application-based hiring process for undergraduate research assistants. UP has a robust program in Environmental Studies and the candidate will play a role in shaping the development of the program and its students.
Applications must be received by November 1, 2023
