To instantiate our values of Access, Equity, and Diversity, UNCW’s College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is embarking on our third year of a cohort hire initiative. This year, our focus is in the areas of Environmental and Social Justice, prioritizing analytics and approaches that center examinations of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, disability, democracy and citizenship, and Indigenous or otherwise decolonizing methodologies. We are actively building a network of researchers, scholars, and artists that will support the ongoing work in which we are engaged and to set a path forward as we grow these areas of critical study into regional and national strengths. This initiative is part of a larger set of coordinated diversity and inclusion initiatives within the UNCW Division of Academic Affairs. The position of Assistant Professor in Spanish/Coordinator of World Language Teacher Education with the Department of World Languages and Cultures is part of this initiative.

The successful candidate will join our Department of World Languages and Cultures with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence. They will be expected to contribute actively to these efforts through their teaching, research, and service by prioritizing analytics and approaches that contribute to critical examinations of race, ethnicity, and/or gender. Our department fosters a diverse and inclusive working and learning environment. Applicants from traditionally underrepresented racial, ethnic, and other backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
