The Department of History at Knox College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank of assistant professor, effective September 1, 2013, with specialization in the field of Ancient Mediterranean history. A sub-specialty in Africa or the Middle East is a plus. An interest in Archaeology or Public History is also an asset. PhD required, but ABDs will be considered. Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
The successful candidate will teach HIST 104: The Ancient Mediterranean World, one of the 100-level introductory classes through which students enter the major through the study of primary documents. All members of the department develop and teach their own version of HIST 285: The Historian’s Workshop,the core historical methodology course required of all majors and minors and the prerequisite for all 300-level research courses. The successful candidate will teach one 300-level research course in the first year of appointment, most likely based upon the candidate’s area of expertise.
This position provides the foundation for the global and transnational approach to teaching history that is a core principle of our department. It also makes a vital contribution in our commitment to interdisciplinary cooperation, allowing the department to maintain connections with the Department of Classics and the Program in Religious Studies.
