Associate Professor - Black and Latino Studies Job Description \"At Baruch College we believe that student success is everyone’s responsibility\"

The Black and Latino Studies Department at Baruch College, CUNY, invites applications for a Tenured Associate Professor specializing in the intersection between race and sexuality, beginning in Fall 2026. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar with a strong record of teaching, research, and publishing experience in Queer Studies, and/or LGBTQ+ studies at the intersection of Black and/or Latino Studies.

The successful candidate will contribute to building the department's mission of fostering rigorous, accessible scholarship while serving CUNY's diverse student body and commitment to public education. This candidate should also demonstrate a strong record of funding, teaching, advising, and mentoring students.

This position includes a secondary appointment at The Graduate Center (CUNY) as part of the faculty in the new discipline-plus Ph.D. and M.A. programs in Black, Race, and Ethnic Studies (BRES). This position is part of a Mellon Foundation‑funded faculty cluster hire in BRES at CUNY. The BRES program offers innovative and substantive approaches to the study of race and racial formations, as well as the comparative examination of global blackness and the analysis of ethnicity and ethnic formations on a planetary scale. Launched in 2025, this new Ph.D. Program—conceived with the twenty‑first‑century university and student in mind—brings together a dynamic faculty, including scholars trained in traditional disciplines and those whose intellectual formation originated in interdisciplinarity. As scholars addressing societal concerns from the vanguard of the humanities and the social sciences, the faculty are equally committed to pedagogy and the training of pioneering thinkers and actors. The commitment to bold, interdisciplinary, and intersectional analysis, which offers explanations and solutions to pressing societal concerns, situates BRES in constant dialogue with various publics.
