ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ART AND SOCIETY
Gallatin School of Individualized Study
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
The Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU seeks to fill a tenure-track, assistant-professor level position in Art and Society to commence September 1, 2015. We seek interdisciplinary candidates who explore art as a mode of knowledge and inquiry and whose scholarship engages with the relationship between art, social and environmental change, and social structure. We are particularly interested in candidates attentive to global and translocal issues. The position calls for a faculty member with a collaborative spirit who will help students grapple with questions concerning the aesthetic and the political, and the role of the arts in both challenging and supporting social systems. The field is open, and those in the social sciences are especially encouraged to apply.
The candidate must have a strong interest in interdisciplinary teaching and in advising individualized undergraduate and graduate research programs. To be successful, a candidate needs to be able to design and teach imaginative and innovative courses that elaborate and examine these questions in their historical and theoretical contexts, and in practice.
Qualifications: Ph.D. in hand by time of appointment; demonstrated excellence in teaching at the university level; a strong record of research and writing.
All application materials must be submitted electronically. To apply, please visit:
