The Department of History at Boston College invites applications for two post-doctoral teaching fellowships, beginning September 2014. Appointments are for up to three years pending successful first- year review. Fellows will typically teach two large courses per year, including lectures and discussion sections, as part of the Department’s Core History Program. The year-long course focuses on Early Modern and Modern history from a global perspective and covers the period c. 1450 to the present. These courses contribute to the History Core Program through which all undergraduates develop a foundational knowledge of modern history and key historiographical debates. All regional specializations are welcome to apply. More information on the Core can be found at: http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/schools/cas/history/core.html. There may also be selected opportunities during the period of fellowship for fellows to teach in their areas of specialization. Fellows will also be expected to carry out their own research and to contribute to the intellectual life of the department. Salary is 65k with a 5k research budget. Ph.D. required by August 2014. Please submit a letter of application, CV, evidence of teaching experience, an article-length writing sample, a sample syllabus for a two-semester course, and at least three letters of reference. Applications should be submitted electronically to HISTPOSTDOCSEARCH@BC.EDU. They can also be sent to the Chair, Postdoctoral Fellowship Search Committee, Dept. of History, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467. Rolling deadline: we will begin evaluating applications on April 15, 2014. Boston College is an AA/EO employer and welcomes applications from women and minority candidates.
