Faculty are expected to have an inclusive approach to mentoring and advising that incorporates working with women and underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students.

The anticipated start date for this position is July 1, 2024. Duties include active research, graduate supervision, classroom teaching at all levels, and department and university service. Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American History. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
