*Cluster Hire in Race, Immigration, and Integration: Empirical and Applied
Approaches-- University of California, Riverside*

The University of California Riverside is embarking on a major new hiring
initiative that will add 300 tenure-track positions in 33
cross-disciplinary areas selected through a peer-reviewed competition. Over
the next three years, we will hire multiple faculty members in each area
and invest in research infrastructure to support their work. This
initiative will build critical mass in vital and emerging fields of
scholarship, foster truly cross-disciplinary work and further diversify the
faculty at one of America’s most diverse research universities. We
encourage applications from scholars committed to excellence and seeking to
help redefine the research university for the next generation. For more
details visit http://clusterhiring.ucr.edu/.

This announcement aims to fill up to FOUR positions, at both the junior and
senior levels, in social science research related to “Race, Immigration,
and Integration: Empirical and Applied Approaches.” The placement of each
successful candidate may be in the Graduate School of Education, the School
of Public Policy, the School of Medicine, or in the departments of
Anthropology, Ethnic Studies, Political Science, or Sociology, depending on
the preferences of the candidate and the host departments.

Topical areas of focus in this cluster search include:
1) Social movement and political power, including community mobilization
against discrimination, hate crimes, police brutality, and immigrant
detention;
2) Educational opportunities across the K-16 education pipeline with a
focus on racialization, including its intersections with class, gender,
sexuality, and immigration status;
3) The study of media (including mainstream media, ethnic media, and social
media) and its relationship to social attitudes, civic engagement, and
community formation; and
4) Demography and public health, including disparities in health and health
care delivery, immigrant health, and culturally competent health care
services.

Candidates should clearly indicate their topic(s) of focus in their cover
letter. We are looking for candidates with a strong research record
commensurate with rank, including relevant fellowships, honors, and awards.
Candidates will be expected to teach and guide the research of
undergraduate and graduate students, and they should be committed to
boosting UCR’s research in empirical and applied research on race,
immigration, and integration. Applicants must have an earned doctorate in a
relevant social science field (such as Anthropology, Ethnic Studies,
Geography, Political Science, or Sociology) or in an interdisciplinary
field with substantial preparation in the social sciences (such as
Demography, Education, Public Health, and Public Policy). Salary will be
competitive and commensurate with education and experience.

The appointment will commence on June 30, 2016.

Applicants at the rank of Assistant Professor should submit a letter of
interest that describes their research and training, curriculum vitae,
writing samples, and 3 letters of recommendation; applicants at the rank of
Associate or Full Professor should include a letter of interest, a CV,
names and contact information of 5 references, and a sample of research
work.

All materials must be uploaded using UCR's on-line application system
located at https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00488 (for Assistant
Professor) or https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00482 (for Associate or
Full Professor). Review of the applications will begin January 1, 2016 and
will continue until the position is filled. To ensure full consideration,
applications and supporting material should be received by December 31,
2015.

UCR is a world-class research university with an exceptionally diverse
undergraduate student body. Its mission is explicitly linked to providing
routes to educational success for underrepresented and first-generation
college students. A commitment to this mission is a preferred qualification.

Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is
through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every
2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action
Employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of
excellence and diversity among its faculty and staff. All qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to
race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national
