Position description

The Department of French at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of French or a tenured position as Associate Professor of French, focusing on Francophone African literature/film and/or culture, whose primary research focus lies south of the Maghreb. The expected start date of the position is July 1, 2026.

The position entails deep expertise in literary, film, and/or cultural studies related to non-Maghrebi African Francophone Studies, demonstrable either through formal study or publication record, and excellence in teaching. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate courses and graduate seminars for students with a range of disciplinary interests.

We welcome applicants whose research spans a variety of topics and approaches, including, but not limited to, African Diaspora Studies, Caribbean Studies, Film Studies, or Translation Studies.

About the Department:
In the Department of French at UC Berkeley, our dedicated and creative faculty shares a commitment to excellence in teaching, whether it is in an introductory French class, a specialized course for majors, a course on French literature in translation, or an advanced graduate seminar. We encourage independent and innovative thinking and research at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

For its undergraduate majors, minors, and graduate students, the department provides thorough coverage in all periods of both French and Francophone literatures and cultures. It combines this coverage with an array of related fields and topics - from literary history and theory to philosophy, to social and cultural theory, to historical and contemporary linguistics, to the study of gender and sexuality, critical race theory, colonial and post-colonial studies, historiography, visual arts and film, music, popular culture, and politics. We participate fully in the interdisciplinary emphasis that has traditionally distinguished study and research at Berkeley.

Many of our faculty members are affiliated with other programs in the University (with the Departments of Comparative Literature, Italian Studies, Film & Media, and Linguistics, with programs in Romance Languages and Literatures and in Medieval Studies, with Graduate Designated Emphases in Critical Theory; Digital Media; Women, Gender, and Sexuality; Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, and with the Berkeley Language Center, the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture and the Center for Race and Gender).

The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
