this looks identical to a position posted lst year - guess it wasn't filled.

[yep]

It's a replacement position for someone who just retired, and no, it wasn't filled last year.

[docanonymous]

Last year's position specified a primary interest in inequalities, not gender per se.

No, this is a reposting of the ad that circulated in the spring, for which they interviewed in March. It was specifically for gender.

It was listed as "gender and social inequalities." I had a conversation with someone on the hiring committee, which led me to believe that it was not a general gender position, but a gender and stratification position. Perhaps you know more about it than I do, and I certainly hope it's a more broadly defined gender position, because I don't study stratification.
