US gender and sexuality. The Department of History at Williams College seeks to make an appointment at the rank of assistant professor (tenure-track) in the history of gender and sexuality in the late nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States, beginning in the Fall of 2009. Ph.D. in hand or expected by September 2009. We will consider applicants with a research focus on any aspect of US gender history and/or the history of sexuality and the body – and with an innovative ability to contribute more broadly to the teaching of post-1865 US history.
