The Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies at Emory University seeks applications from scholars with expertise in Native American and Indigenous Studies, at the rank of Associate or Full Professor.

We especially invite applications from scholars whose research centers Native people of the southeastern United States. 

 

We are searching for a scholar to fill disciplinary needs in a variety of areas that serve our planned minor in NAIS, to be proposed in Fall 2026.
