Our ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in qualitative Social Sciences, Cultural Studies, History or a historically-grounded Humanities or Writing-related field (including research and/or coursework on veterans and/or military studies), and will be able to demonstrate knowledge and appreciation of the diversity of military veterans' identities and experiences.

Additional Course Information:
Soc Sci 132: Veterans in History and Society
In this seminar-style class, students will explore key concepts, issues, and trends in the interdisciplinary field of Veterans Studies. Through intensive critical reading and weekly Study Group tasks, in-class student presentations, and structured discussions, students will gain a deep understanding of the ways that social scientists and historians have analyzed the identities, experiences and worldviews of U.S. military veterans, as well as to the meanings that have been attributed by others to veterans and their service. Students will compare the experiences of veterans from diverse backgrounds, identifying the historical, political, economic and sociocultural factors, including race, class, gender, sexuality and national origin that have differently structured their experiences of military service from the early republic to the present day. They will analyze the different ways that veterans have made sense of their military service and how it has shaped their interactions with one another, their families, communities, and the nation, over time. They will also trace shifting perceptions of veterans and their roles in civilian society during different moments in U.S. history. Finally, students will conduct guided individual research on a veteran-related topic of their choice, and write an 8-10 page paper that analyzes their topic in light of key concepts, themes and debates in the field of veteran studies.
Soc Sci 134W: Veterans' Voices
Students in this upper division W' (writing) course will use the medium of academic writing to develop a broad understanding and appreciation for the wide range of worldviews, priorities and values embodied in the creative production and activism of diverse U.S. military veterans. Students will explore how veterans have made their voices heard as authors and artists; as individual political actors and leaders/participants in social movements; through powerful veterans' and 'patriotic' societies like the VFW, the G.I. Forum, AMVETS, and the American Legion; and through veteran-activism in activities like the Bonus March, the founding of the VA, the building of the Vietnam Memorial, as well as anti-war and international de-mining campaigns. While exploring the changing political and social contexts that have informed varied forms of expressions across different historical moments, students will also consider how veterans' complex and multifaceted intersectional identities, including their race, class, gender, sexuality, national origin and citizenship status, political ideologies and spiritual beliefs, have shaped the ways they have used their voices. Since this is an upper-division writing (W) course, discussions of writing and activities to develop students' writing skills will be integrated with the content of this course.
**Instructors will be provided approved syllabus for this course. Course delivery format is online/asynchronous.
