The Women’s Studies Program of Hobart and William Smith Colleges

The Women’s Studies Program of Hobart and William Smith Colleges invites
applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Women’s Studies for

year. We especially seek candidates with expertise in feminism and health
to bridge Women’s Studies to the natural sciences and/or public policy,
but remain open to other fields. Ph.D. preferred, ABD considered. The
teaching load will be five courses for the year, and we expect candidates
to be able to contribute to the teaching of core courses in the program
(e.g., Feminist Theory; Feminist Research) in addition to courses in the
candidate’s area of specialty. Candidates with experience mentoring
students of color are strongly encouraged. Information on Women’s Studies
can be found on our web site: http://www.hws.edu/academics/ws/ Candidates
should submit a letter of application, writing sample, curriculum vitae,
and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to Betty M.

immediately, and continue until the position is filled.
Founded as Hobart College for men and William Smith College for women,
Hobart and William Smith Colleges today are a highly selective residential
liberal arts institution with a single administration, faculty and
curriculum but separate dean’s offices, student governments, athletic
programs and traditions. The Colleges are located in a small diverse city
in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. With an enrollment of
approximately 2,000, the Colleges offer 62 different majors and minors
from which students choose two areas of concentration, one of which must
be an interdisciplinary program. Creative and extensive programs of
international study and public service are also at the core of the
Colleges’ mission. Hobart and William Smith Colleges are committed to
attracting and supporting faculty and staff that fully represent the
racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the nation and actively seek
applications from under-represented groups. The Colleges do not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status,
national origin, age, disability, veteran's status, or sexual orientation
or any other protected status.
