The History Department at Boston College invites applications for a post-doctoral teaching fellowship to teach in the History Core program.

More information on the Core can be found at: http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/schools/cas/history/core.html
All specializations except American history are welcome to submit applications, and fellows will be expected to teach broadly. Applicants with experience in digital humanities (GIS, learning management systems, multimedia, etc.) are especially encouraged to apply. Appointments are for up to three years pending successful review in the first year. In addition to teaching a high enrollment, two-semester survey course each year, fellows will be expected to carry out their own research. We also invite fellows to participate in the History Workshop, an annual series of lectures and seminars hosted by the department. Salary is competitive and the position will carry with it a research budget. Ph.D. required by August 2016.
