Please note that although the deadline is open, candidates will be best served by getting a cover letter and CV in for consideration as quickly as possible. Also, if your PhD is not in history, but you believe that essentially your training is identical to that in most major history departments, you should note that in your cover letter.
Field is open.
Salaries will be competitive at the appropriate level. The Department of History enjoys national and international reputations in comparative early modern history, women's history, and social history, and it is fostering emerging strengths in economic history and international history. Faculty members have forged these thematic strengths within nodes of comparative and global inquiry that are encouraged and informed by a unique cluster of centers and programs both inside and outside the Department. The Search Committee is especially eager to review applications from junior scholars with a demonstrated excellence in research and teaching, and from colleagues in mid-career who have established reputations as scholars and teachers with exciting and innovative agendas. These agendas may either complement the Department's existing strengths or show high promise for building new ones.
