I hope you will assist me by making the USA-Africa Dialogue community aware of four tenured and tenure line positions at Georgetown University that may be of interest to African scholars and scholars of Africa. The first three searches are in the Edmund A Walsh School of Foreign Service; the last is in the Department of French, in Georgetown College.

2) Climate Change, Colonialism and Displacement

Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service invites applications for a Provost's Distinguished Faculty Fellow and tenure-line Assistant Professor position. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar who is working at the intersection of climate change, colonialism, and displacement. We seek scholars who broadly approach climate change in relation to colonial extraction and expropriation in the context of the Global South, and who use innovative methods to engage in scholarship on displacement and migration with attention to racialization and border regimes. Applicants are welcomed from a wide variety of disciplines and fields including, but not limited to, anthropology, geography, history, political science, sociology, science and technology studies, and environmental humanities.

4) Provost's Distinguished Faculty Fellow and Assistant Professor of Francophone Studies

Georgetown University, Department of French & Francophone Studies. Tenure-line position for a specialist in Francophone Literatures and Cultures of Sub-Saharan Africa to begin August 1, 2022.  For the first year of this position, the successful candidate will also hold the title of Provost's Distinguished Faculty Fellow, and will have no teaching and service responsibilities to allow a focus on research while receiving mentorship and support from two senior faculty members.  After the first fellowship year, the candidate will be expected to offer courses taught in French in the specific area of research expertise in addition to a variety of offerings in French at the lower- and mid-division levels, including language-learning and writing-intensive courses. Cross-listed courses and engagement with the African Studies Program in Georgetown's School of Foreign Service will be strongly encouraged. Additional expertise in theater and performance studies and/or creative writing is also welcome, as is expertise in women's and gender studies. The Georgetown University Department of French & Francophone Studies has a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and research at all levels. Our overarching learning goal is to give students linguistic competency, cultural literacy, writing and research skills, and critical thinking abilities within a framework that encourages creativity.
