Assistant Professor Early American History
Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | Maine, United States |
Position: | Assistant Professor |
The Department of History at Colby College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Early American History beginning September 1, 2022.
The Department is a community of engaged teacher-scholars who teach diverse courses from surveys to specialized seminars grounded in our research. We are searching for a teacher-scholar historian of early American history, with preference for a focus on race, environmental, or indigenous history. Combinations of these and interdisciplinary approaches are welcome. An ability to teach the Civil War would be a plus. The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and engaged teacher and a dedicated scholar, committed to research. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach HI 131, a Survey of U.S. History to 1865. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who will bring to the classroom experiences, identities, ideas, and ways of engaging that will resonate with History’s, and Colby’s, increasingly diverse student body. We are searching for candidates with great potential to be innovative, effective, and inclusive teachers of history, who may be willing to make use of resources made available by the Colby Museum of Art, Special Collections, and the Mule Works Innovation Lab. We will give particular weight to candidates who have successfully designed and taught their own courses. PhD preferred, but ABD will be considered. The Colby History Department is committed to professional development and the future advancement of all its members.
Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, a statement of research interests, a representative sample of current scholarship (e.g. reprints of recently published work), and three confidential letters of recommendation. The statement of teaching philosophy and the statement of research interests should demonstrate commitment to the values of diversity and inclusivity. Please submit applications via Interfolio at the following link http://apply.interfolio.com/94367. Review of applications will begin on October 15, 2021, and will continue until the position is filled.
