The minimum qualification to be considered an applicant for the position is a PhD or equivalent international degree. Special consideration will be given to candidates who work in one or more of the following areas: 1) the content and contestation of group identities; 2) the civic and political engagement of diverse populations within local, national, and transnational contexts; or
3) the normative or legal implications of racial and ethnic diversity within democratic societies.

The anticipated starting date is July 1, 2019. The position is affiliated with the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society (HIFIS). The search will be conducted under the auspices of the HIFIS Diversity and Democracy cluster and with the participation of faculty from the Department of Political Science, Department of Sociology, and School of Law (including the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program).

The successful candidate will hold a faculty appointment in a department to be determined by the candidate's preferences, disciplinary training, and departmental fit.
