Visiting Scholar in Residence in
Race/Ethnicity and Public Policy—Deadline: Monday, January 30, 2012
Institute for Research on Race and Public
Policy, University of Illinois at
Chicago
The Institute for Research on Race and Public
Policy (IRRPP) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)
invites applications for a Visiting Scholar in Residence
position in Race/Ethnicity and Public Policy. The applicant must be a
tenure-track or tenured faculty member who is affiliated with an institution of
higher education in the United States other than UIC, and has made a significant
contribution to their field.
IRRPP promotes, coordinates, and conducts innovative research
at the intersection of race, ethnicity and public policy. IRRPP represents a
major commitment on the part of UIC to better understand racial and ethnic
diversity in Chicago, the nation, and the world. One of our central aims is to
increase the quantity, quality and relevance of research on racial and ethnic
groups facing persistent inequalities and inequities. The Institute pursues a
comprehensive multiracial, multiethnic and multicultural agenda that includes
African Americans, Latinos/as, American Indians, Asian Americans and other
groups confronted with systematic racial, ethnic, and class barriers, with the
primary goal of improving both the understanding and conditions of these groups.
We are seeking applicants whose
work examines policies, practices and ideologies that perpetuate racial and
ethnic injustice in the contemporary United States. Work at the intersection of
race/ethnicity and other markers of social disadvantage (such as class,
sexuality, immigration status, age) is of particular interest to IRRPP. We are
specifically seeking applicants whose work has an engaged social justice
perspective and who have experience working with communities and community
organizations.
The specific duties of the visiting scholar in residence
will include:
· Completing a policy-oriented research project on
a problem related to race/ethnicity, inequality, and public
policy
· Writing a policy paper on the results of the
research project with policy recommendations
· Presenting a public lecture
· Collaborating with the IRRPP research team on
projects related to their proposed research
· Serving as a resource to community groups in
Chicago working on similar issues.
The position runs from August 16, 2012 to May 15, 2013. The
scholar must be in residence in Chicago during the entire length of the
position. The salary ranges from $50,000 to $85,000 plus benefits, based on
current salary. In addition, the scholar is eligible for $2,000 to fund research
and conference travel, and up to $2,000 for allowable relocation expenses. This
position may also include a courtesy visiting faculty appointment in an academic
department.
All
application materials must be received by Monday, JANUARY 30, 2012. For
questions about the position please contact Francesca Gaiba, Associate Director
for Research at gaiba@uic.edu. To apply, go to jobs.uic.edu,
find job ID number 14625 and submit: 1) a cover letter describing the applicant's
proposed research project, work in relation to their field; and experience with
community-engaged research and social justice projects; 2) a curriculum vitae;
3) a writing sample (either a chapter or an article).
