Sent on behalf of Liz Budd



The Department of Sociology, within the College of Arts and Sciences at Washington State University invites applications for a permanent, full-time, nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Pullman, WA, with a specialty in food and environmental justice. We seek applicants who have a central research focus in the study of food or environmental justice, or on the ways food and environment overlap. This could include, but is not limited to: environmental racism; long-term health impacts on minoritized communities who face food and/or environmental inequities; food deserts/swamps; farm labor/food industry labor; indigenous approaches to environmental and food sustainability. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will begin the appointment on August 16, 2024.


WSU is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive university community. The university recognizes that fostering an inclusive environment for all, with particular attention to the needs of historically marginalized populations, is vital to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of our institutional mission. Towards continually strengthening this commitment, we seek candidates whose research, teaching, and/or service has prepared them to be an integral contributor to the continued advancement of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access here at WSU. This position is part of a faculty cluster hire initiative in the scholarship and teaching about racism and social inequality in the Americas, with a particular focus this year on Food/Environmental Justice. The university is particularly interested in hiring scholars who are deeply connected to and integrated into the communities that they study as a means to build on our strong tradition of engaged and applied scholarship at WSU.

Message from search chair:

We are looking to hire a scholar who studies food/environmental justice and race/ethnicity. The definition of food is broadly defined to include topics as diverse as food systems, food production/sustainability, food workers, food deserts and food health.
Please note that candidates for this position don't necessarily need to demonstrate an established track record in both food and race. Candidates with established connections to one of these areas and with a reasonable and feasible plan for future research trajectories combining them are welcomely received.
If potential candidates have questions, I am the search chair and would be very happy to talk about the position and application process.

Thank you for considering,

Erik
