Position Summary

Bowdoin College’s Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies (LACLaS) Program at Bowdoin College invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty appointment in migration and border studies at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, beginning July 1, 2027. We seek a social or data scientist with a demonstrated interdisciplinary approach to artificial intelligence and immigration and border policies impacting U.S. Latinx, Caribbean, and/or Latin America who will engage students in the technological, ethical, political, and/or social landscapes that intertwine these studies. The teaching load is two courses per semester, teaching across the curriculum, and participating in the teaching rotation of the program’s intro course and LACLaS major requirements in the social sciences. Bowdoin is particularly interested in candidates dedicated to undergraduate teaching and with a promise of long-term successful research. A Ph.D. is expected by the date of the appointment.

Bowdoin’s Hastings Initiative for AI and Humanity aims to critically examine, thoughtfully utilize, and ethically guide AI’s trajectory. A $50 million dollar gift by Reed Hastings funds ten new faculty positions across disciplines; supports faculty in AI-related teaching, research, and creative work; sponsors workshops, symposia, and student research; and prepares the next generation of leaders to engage responsibly with the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence.

Bowdoin College offers opportunities for professional development, a fully-funded, year-long pre-tenure sabbatical leave (after three years of teaching and successful reappointment), and regular, generously funded, post-tenure sabbaticals. Support for teaching, grant submission, computing software, and community partnerships in courses is available. The College also offers robust programming and resources for establishing and enhancing mentoring networks.

At Bowdoin, we are committed to inclusive excellence, an ongoing collective practice that honors our institutional commitment to provide an outstanding liberal arts education and serve the common good. The College is home to talented students, faculty and staff and we encourage applications from candidates committed to the inclusive instruction and support of a diverse student population, and those who will enrich and contribute to the College’s multifaceted diversity.

Accessibility during the application and interview stages, as well as once employed, is a priority of the College: https://www.bowdoin.edu/accessibility/index.html. In addition, visa sponsorships for faculty hires are available.

Bowdoin College accepts only electronic submissions. Please submit: 1) a cover letter that includes a description of your research, as well as evidence of how you create learning environments that prepare students to interact constructively with a diversity of people, spaces, situations, and ideas; 2) a curriculum vitae; and 3) the names and contact information for three references who have agreed to provide letters of recommendation. Letter writers will be automatically contacted upon submission of your application.

Review of applications will begin September 10th and continue until the position is filled. The anticipated hiring range for this appointment at the assistant professor rank without prior tenure-track experience is $92,000 – $98,000 annually and at the associate professor rank is $120,000 – $140,000. The salary offered will be commensurate with the successful candidate’s experience and with internal peer equity. All offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of a satisfactory background check.

Founded in 1794, Bowdoin has maintained its commitment to the liberal arts for well over 200 years.
