Tenured Associate or Full Professor in Science, Technology & Equity (Job #12536) 

Arizona State University’s School for the Future of Innovation in Society (SFIS) and the Center for Gender and Equity in Science and Technology (CGEST) seek an associate or full professor (tenured) who works at the intersection of science, technology and innovation with a dedicated scholarly interest in issues of race, gender, and economic inclusion. 

We seek a senior faculty leader who brings sophisticated empirical methods and tools together with demonstrated scholarly commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion in issues of science, technology, and innovation. We especially seek candidates whose expertise applies intersectionality – conceived briefly as an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the roles of unique and overlapping aspects of identities and cultures – as both a theory and a methodology. Ideally, candidates will have experience working and collaborating with under-represented communities and skills in guiding and mentoring students and early career researchers toward outcomes with sustained impact. 

In addition to being a tenured member of the SFIS faculty, the successful candidate will also be appointed as associate director of CGEST and will co-lead the research endeavors and support the vision of the Center. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an independently funded and collaborative research program; teach and mentor students; participate in professional and university service; and engage stakeholders. In particular, the successful candidate will coordinate student and early career researchers, ASU collaborators and external partners to advance an already thriving research portfolio. 

Required: PhD or doctoral equivalent in an appropriate field. Experience in applying for, receiving, and managing externally sponsored research at significant scale. Experience engaging with stakeholders inside and outside the university and working with under-represented communities. Skills in teaching and mentoring students and early career researchers. Commitment to equity, justice and sustainability and to sophisticated empirical methods. Ability to communicate in and across multiple epistemic cultures. 

The Center for Gender Equity in Science and Technology (cgest.asu.edu) aims to create an interdisciplinary, racially-ethnically diverse community of scholars, students, policy makers, and practitioners who explore, identify, and ultimately create innovative scholarship about and best practices for under-represented girls and women in STEM. To do so, the CGEST maintains a portfolio of activities, including designing and implementing STEM education programs in and outside of schools, hosting regular professional development conferences for under-represented scholars and industry professionals in STEM, and conducting empirical and theoretical research about socio-cultural structures in STEM, their effects, and successful levers on those systems. CGEST maintains a multi-million dollar external-funded research profile and both a Tempe, Arizona and Washington, D.C. presence. 

Review of applications will beginOctober 26, 2018 and, if not filled, a review will occur every Friday thereafter until the search is closed.
