[Maite Urcaregui]

The Graduate Student Caucus (GSC) of the CSS would like to share the
following job posting and encourage ABD graduate students and early career
scholars in the field to apply:

The Department of French and Italian in the College of Arts and Sciences at
The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant
Professor of French and Francophone Studies with a specialization in Black
France. The anticipated start date is August 15, 2023. We understand “Black
France” broadly as a multi-centered network including all former and
current territories of France. While research specialization may be focused
on a single geographic area and time period, comparative and
transhistorical expertise is highly desirable. We seek a scholar whose work
ideally furthers a re-thinking of the discipline of French and Francophone
studies, bringing a Global Black Studies perspective to examining the
Francophone world, and the flow of ideas, representations (literary,
visual, etc.), languages, and peoples among Africa, the Americas, and
Europe. Preference will be given to candidates with proven
interdisciplinary interests in fields such as African studies,
Afro-European studies, Caribbean studies, comparative colonial or
postcolonial studies, diaspora studies, environmental studies, screen
media/popular culture studies, gender and sexuality studies, the digital
humanities, disability studies, or performance studies.

We seek a colleague who will: develop General Education courses in English
(especially for the required Race, Gender and Ethnic Diversity Foundation
category) that appeal to a diverse student body; contribute to
interdisciplinary initiatives across campus relating to their research and
teaching areas; and contribute to our PhD programs. Teaching duties include
literary and cultural studies courses at the graduate and undergraduate
level in French and English, including the opportunity to run a summer
study abroad program.

Qualifications:

Native or near-native proficiency in French and English; PhD in French and
Francophone studies or a related field required at time of appointment
(August 15, 2023). The Department values diversity, is committed to
building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and strongly
encourages applications from historically underrepresented minorities.

Appointment is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials
and other information required by law and/or university policies, including
but not limited to a criminal background check.
