In collaboration with UC Online and colleagues throughout the system, the Department of Native American Studies (NAS) at UC Davis is developing a systemwide online minor in Native American and Indigenous Studies. To help further that effort, we invite applications for an Associate or Full Professor to begin on July 1, 2026, after completing the UC procedures for appointment with tenure.
The successful applicant will assume co-leadership of the UC systemwide online NAS minor and be expected to share in the teaching of core courses in the program, as well as contribute to in-person graduate instruction and mentoring. The successful applicant must demonstrate excellence in teaching and research, a commitment to mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and dedicated innovation in online instruction. We particularly welcome applications from senior scholars with demonstrated campus, community, national, and even international leadership, and publicly engaged research programs that demonstrate deep accountability to Indigenous communities.
Applicants should have PhD in Native American (or American Indian, Indigenous, First Nations) Studies and/or have sustained a clear focus on Native and Indigenous Studies through a related field; and maintain an active research program within Native North America (the continental United States, Canada, Alaska, and/or the northern Pacific). Topical expertise should complement and extend beyond the current strengths and interests of our interdisciplinary faculty.
Applicants must have expertise and experience with developing and offering online instructional programming; that is, intentional and comprehensive online pedagogy that is beyond just pivoting an in-person class onto Zoom due to the pandemic
