Provost Fellows will focus time on research for up to two years allowing for an in-depth start on scholarship, with limited teaching requirements.

https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22237
Seeking candidates whose research interrogates gendered and sexualized disparities alongside the dispossessions of settler colonialism, the imaginary and creative dimensions of indigenous justice movements, and the potentials of women- and two-spirit or queer-led innovations in preserving embattled minority and colonized food/health/body/eco cultures.
Department of Comparative Studies: Assistant Professor, Indigenous Knowledges
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22414

School of Environment and Natural Resources: Assistant Professor of Indigenous Environmental Studies
Seeking an individual who can build creative partnerships in teaching, outreach, and research that respect the debt the Land Grant University system owes to Indigenous communities and inspire new approaches and philosophies that will contribute towards repaying that debt. This Assistant Professor position is available with the option to be hired into the Provost’s Tenure-Track Fellow to Faculty Program with an appointment to a mentored position as an instructor in the tenure track for up to two-years before transitioning to the Assistant Professor position.
Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures: Assistant Professor of Indigenous Siberian Studies
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22616
Seeking an innovative scholar and excellent teacher whose research program centers on Indigenous Siberian Studies. We invite scholars whose research interests explore questions about indigenous people’s knowledges and cultural practices as they intersect with one or more of the following: race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, im/mobility, health, food, and environment, in imperial/post-imperial, communist/post-communist, or comparative contexts. While we will give preference to candidates with a research profile in Indigenous Siberian Studies, we will also consider applicants whose work examines this set of questions around the experiences of non-Slavic communities in other parts of the Russian Federation or who look at indigenous communities in a comparative perspective, as well as scholars who investigate “Siberia” as a constructed and contested colonial location.
