Position Description
The Department of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2023. The Department is looking for individuals with expertise in Finance in relation to Globalization.
Candidates will have expertise in the economics and politics of finance as it operates on a global scale. Candidates will study the globalization of finance and how finance has shaped globalization. Themes of particular interest include financial and sovereign debt crises; the effects of financialization on inequality, taxation, trade, the environment, and political institutions; and the connections between financial power and technology. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate students about how current and historical financial arrangements work in different settings, and how they shape interactions between the public and private spheres (including financial regulation and supervision), as well as between local, national, and global actors. The successful candidate must demonstrate capacity to guide graduate research involving multiple forms of quantitative data and analysis and to mentor across disciplinary lines.
A demonstrated record of excellence in research, and a record of (or potential for) outstanding teaching are desired. The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.
Global Studies is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to understanding globalization as multidimensional, multi-level and historical processes. Global Studies involves social science and humanities approaches to analyze the social, cultural, political, environmental, and economic consequences of global flows, institutions, and processes. Global Studies scholarship is motivated by engagement with contemporary transnational social problems across multiple theoretical perspectives and methodologies.
