The Department of History at the University of Texas at San Antonio invites applications for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Latin American history, with a preference for those working on the colonial period.  UTSA’s History Department interrogates historical themes of “Empires, States, and Borders,” as described on our web page at http://colfa.utsa.edu/history/.  We particularly invite applications from scholars whose research and teaching interests intersect with these thematic areas.

Required Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in History in hand by August 2014.  Responsibilities include teaching introductory and specialized history courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and engaging in research and publication commensurate with the expectations of a research-intensive university. 

Applicants must submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, a research-based writing sample, a statement of teaching interests, and three letters of reference (sent separately) to history@utsa.edu.  Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2013, and continue until the position is filled. 

Applicants who are selected for interviews must be able to show proof that they will be eligible and qualified to work in the United States by the time of hire. UTSA is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.  Women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.  For more information about the UTSA Department of History, see http://colfa.utsa.edu/history/.
