University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA
Department of Spanish and Portuguese

Mellon Professor of Modern Languages

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for the Andrew Mellon Chair in Modern Languages. While the research focus is open, the department is particularly interested in scholars with a focus on one or more of the following areas:

  • Environmental humanities
  • Legacies of colonialism and modernity
  • Legacies and politics of violation
  • Migration
  • U.S. influence and interactions with diasporic communities
  • Science and technology studies
  • Health humanities
Successful candidates must merit appointment as a Full Professor (though they may currently be an Associate Professor) and have outstanding credentials in research, teaching, and service. We welcome inventive blends of teaching and research with public humanities work and community engagement, as well as candidates whose disposition to participate in the life of the department through service strengthens the department's commitment to excellence. We especially welcome applications from scholars whose research displays comparative geopolitical approaches; transpacific and global Hispano/Lusophone frameworks are all welcome.

Job requirements:

  • Native or near-native fluency in Spanish and English
  • PhD in Latin American literatures or a closely related field
Pending budgetary approval, the position will begin in fall 2026.

The committee will begin looking at applications on December 1, 2025, but will continue to accept materials until the position is filled. Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of future research and teaching plans, and the names of 3 references. (References will be contacted for a letter in the event that the candidate is a finalist for the position.)
