The Department of Romance Languages & Literatures (RLL) and the American Culture Studies Program (AMCS) at Washington University in St. Louis invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Latinx Studies to begin in the fall semester of 2025. This joint position is home-based in Romance Languages & Literatures (75%) with a secondary appointment in American Culture Studies (25%).

We seek an exceptional scholar whose approach to Latinx Studies would become central to the future at Washington University of both Hispanic Studies, and American Studies, two disciplines that are increasingly organized according to transnational and hemispheric perspectives rather than national or regional literatures and cultures.

Within the field of Latinx Studies, we welcome applications from scholars with forward-looking research agendas and whose work engages different methodologies and critical approaches, particularly those in dialogue with comparative and critical ethnic studies.

Responsibilities include conducting and publishing scholarly research; developing and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses; advising and mentoring a diverse student body; and other duties assigned by the University. The teaching load is two (2) courses per semester. Candidates are welcome, though not required, to teach and publish in Spanish, Portuguese, or Indigenous languages related to Latinx Studies.
