POSTDOCTORAL TEACHING FELLOW
Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory
UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
The Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia invites applications for up to 15 Postdoctoral Teaching Fellows, to begin July 1, 2010. These positions enable innovative and collaborative teaching between Fellows and outstanding UBC professors. The program will help to launch the careers of new scholars showing early promise as excellent university teachers and researchers. Each Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow will have the opportunity to interact with UBC colleagues on teaching and research, as well as to be part of a cohort of early-career scholars sharing methods and exchanging ideas for excellent teaching.
One of the new Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow positions has been allocated to the UBC Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory. We invite applications from outstanding candidates in the areas of Modern and Contemporary Art History. The Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory has an unusually rich offering of graduate degrees (M.A. and Ph.D. in Art History; M.A. in Critical & Curatorial Studies; M.F.A. in Visual Art) resulting in a very strong and diverse graduate environment that any Post-Doctoral student in the Modern and Contemporary fields would be enriched by being in contact with (see www.ahva.ubc.ca).
The Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow will be appointed for one year, beginning July 1, 2010, with the possibility of renewal for an additional year subject to approval from the Department and budgetary availability. The annual salary is $50,000.00. Applicants will normally be within 3 years of being awarded the PhD. Successful candidates will teach two larger 80 person lecture courses in their field and, in addition, offer a senior seminar in their distinct area of research under the supervision of an experienced professor. All positions are subject to final budgetary approval.
Applicants should submit a letter of application, a statement of teaching philosophy and interests, evidence of teaching potential, a sample of written work, and a C.V. to:
