Department of History
The Department of History invites applications for a two-year temporary position in African history beginning in the Fall of 2008 at the instructor or assistant professor level. A tenure-track line is anticipated in 2010.
The Department welcomes scholars specializing in any period and geographical area of African history. Teaching will include undergraduate survey courses in African history and upper level courses of the instructor’s choice. Coursework that is interdisciplinary and that places Africa in a global context is particularly appealing to our students, who participate in vigorous study abroad and community service programs.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Candidates nearing completion of the PhD degree will be considered and preliminary interviews will be held at the AHA meeting. Applications received after December 12, 2007 cannot be guaranteed full consideration.
Please send c.v., cover letter, graduate transcript, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to:
