The Department of Social & Behavioral Sciences at Arizona State
University at the West Campus seeks names of potential applicants for a
Southwest Borderlands Initiative hire to join the faculty beginning fall
semester 2006. The Department wishes to hire in the areas of Latino
political representation, participation, and public policy
formation-three areas that represent crucial research and teaching gaps
at ASU at the West Campus. The hire's Latino policy focus may include
but is not limited to Latino public health policy, immigration policy,
and the study of decades-old efforts to close gaps between Latino
population and political representation and participation. The hire
could complement existing research and teaching strengths in the New
College on public health policy, or on immigration broadly considered,
including the global economic forces that push and pull immigrants to
the United States. The Department anticipates that the candidate will
strengthen the overall campus emphases on social justice and social
embeddedness.
The hire is open with respect to rank, including to ABD candidates who
are nearing completion of the PhD. The hire should demonstrate high
scholarly productivity or promise of such productivity commensurate with
rank.
Please email the names of potential applicants (and, if possible, their
institutional affiliations) to Julie Murphy Erfani, Chair, Southwest
Borderlands Initiative Search Committee, by 12:00 noon on Monday,
December 19, 2005: Email: Julie.murphy.erfani@asu.edu
