With respect to visiting positions like the one above, does anyone know if you are locked into staying there for the full term (in this case, two years)? Or can you leave after a year if you get a TT offer somewhere?
Because no who actually knows has answered the question above, I'll give it my best shot. Although they might ask for a two-year commitment, I can't imagine they could begrudge you leaving (nor make it hard for you to leave) if you get a permanent position during the first year.

Visiting Professor (rank open)
Department of Women's and Gender Studies
Applications are invited for a two-year visiting position (rank open) in the Department of Women's and Gender Studies. We are seeking an individual based in cultural studies or the social sciences who studies race/ethnicity and gender in a global context. We are open as to the specific focus within that global context: Africa, Asia, Latin America, or in their diasporas. We hope to attract an established scholar who would find stimulating the opportunity to teach two courses each semester and direct honors theses in a department that is cross-cultural and interdisciplinary in its approach to women's and gender studies.
Candidates should submit CV, a cover letter describing their research and teaching interests, no more than three articles or other writing samples, and three letters of reference to: Search Committee,
Department of Women's and Gender Studies, Amherst College, P.O. Box
5000, Amherst, MA 01002-5000 or via e-mail to WAGS@Amherst.edu.

attracting qualified candidates from groups presently underrepresented on our campus.
With respect to visiting positions like the one above, does anyone know if you are locked into staying there for the full term (in this case, two years)? Or can you leave after a year if you get a TT offer somewhere?
Because no who actually knows has answered the question above, I'll give it my best shot. Although they might ask for a two-year commitment, I can't imagine they could begrudge you leaving (nor make it hard for you to leave) if you get a permanent position during the first year.
