Global Biopolitics — Assistant Professor

Huron University College at Western University

The Centre for Global Studies at Huron University College, London, Ontario, invites applications for a probationary tenure–track Assistant Professor appointment in Global Biopolitics, effective July 1, 2015.

The Centre for Global Studies is an interdisciplinary site of learning and research, promoting critical inquiry into how we may effectively and responsibly engage the world.  The Centre offers degree modules in three streams of interrelated learning:  Globalization Studies, Global Culture Studies, and Global Development Studies, each promoting and embracing the interplay of inquiries generated across the humanities and social sciences.  For further information, please refer to the Centre's institutional webpage at:  http://www.huronuc.on.ca/Academics/FacultyofArtsandSocialScience/CentreforGlobalStudies

The person filling the Global Biopolitics position will teach existing and new undergraduate courses in ways that critically examine historical and contemporary formations of a world of bodies, populations, things, and spaces, along with the social, political, legal, industrial, and commercial technologies and institutions through which these products of modernity are managed and ordered in accordance with the goals, questions, and celebrations of modern life.  S/he will teach courses that:  trace and study the emergence of global biopolitical orders;  explore biopolitical theory and analysis in relation to problems of globalization, global culture, and global development;  and examine specific social and material problems in the management of life in the world.

Applications are welcome from persons who have completed or are near completion of a PhD in any discipline or interdisciplinary context across the humanities and social sciences.  The Centre for Global Studies is particularly interested in applications from persons with research and teaching expertise in biopolitical studies of the address and management of human movement, migration, and displacements, as well as the management of the mobilities of materials and non–human biological life.  Still, applications from scholars engaged with any aspect of Global Biopolitics are welcome, intersecting with a wide range of possible areas of focus, including but not limited to:  gender and sexuality;  critical ecology;  racialisations and biological taxonomies;  territorialisations;  health, virality, and immunisation;  posthumanism;  biometrics;  community, law, and politics;  and relations of death/killing to life/freedom.

The successful applicant for this position will be expected to develop and maintain a program of research related to her/his areas of teaching.  And it is hoped that s/he will be able to develop this program of research so that it can serve as a basis of collaborative studies with her/his colleagues in the Centre for Global Studies. 
Applicants for this position should be aware that the Centre does not seek to define or conserve a disciplined understanding of Global Studies per se but, rather, proposes Global Studies as an open site of critical intellectual and scholarly contest in mutual information.  Applicants should be aware also of the fact that faculty members in the Centre for Global Studies are committed to teaching their students to read, think, conduct research, write and communicate their ideas with considerable scholarly rigour.  We take our students seriously and treat them with the respect deserved by persons who are seeking rich events in learning and intellectual, personal, and social challenge.  Commitment to a high level of thoughtful pedagogical engagement is requisite for this position.

Each applicant for this position should prepare the following application materials:  a letter of application in which the applicant describes her/his expertise and experiences, in relation to this position, in terms of research, teaching, and experiential learning;  a statement of teaching philosophy, in which the applicant  provides examples of how s/he could draw on her/his research in formulating and teaching both new courses in the Centre and current course offerings;  a current curriculum vitae;  three letters of reference;  a writing sample, of article length;  and evidence of teaching effectiveness.  The deadline for submission of these application materials is November 7^th, 2014.  Email inquiries to the Director of the Centre, Dr. Mark F. N. Franke <mfranke@huron.uwo.ca>.  However, all application materials and letters of reference should be sent, in paper form, to:  Global Biopolitics Search, c/o Ms. Julie Bennett, Centre for Global Studies, Huron University College, 1349 Western Road, London, Ontario, N6G 1H3  Canada

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply;  however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.  Huron University College is committed to the highest standards of equity and encourages applications from qualified women and men, members of minorities, aboriginal peoples, and persons with disabilities.  Huron values its place in an interconnected world and desires to create a diverse and equitable employment and educational environment that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
