Woodson Institute for African American and African Studies invite applications for a joint professorship in Race, Religion and the African Diaspora at the rank of associate professor.

Responsibilities include teaching half-time in Religious Studies and half-time in African American and African Studies, as well as proportional service to both units. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. In a relevant field. They should integrate interdisciplinary approaches in their scholarship and teaching, and possess a proven record of scholarly engagement and publication.
