Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is seeking to hire a full-time 9-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor in African Diaspora/Afro-Caribbean/Afro-Latin American History in the History Department in the College of Arts and Sciences. This position is part of a hiring cluster for faculty who will contribute significantly to the Community-Oriented Digital Engagement Scholars (CODES) Program. CODES is a general education pathway focused on community­-engaged digital humanities methods designed for students who are Pell-eligible, among the first in their families to attend college, or historically underrepresented in their majors. This cluster hire, which is part of a larger investment in Black Studies, aims to strengthen our commitment to antiracism, diversity, equity, inclusion and student success.

In their initial year, the assistant professor will teach two courses per semester. On their regular load, they will teach six courses per academic year; four to five in CODES and one to two in their home department, though course assignments may shift in later years. They should engage in research and scholarship that advances their field of study. In addition to work in their home departments, service commitments will include working with a team of other CODES faculty and community partners to develop curriculum, and address student needs. Faculty will also provide mentorship to CODE Scholars, guiding them in their academic and professional development.

Application deadline: January 15, 2024
