Historian of American Art
Colby College Department of Art invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor, beginning September 1, 2013, in the history of American art of all periods. We welcome applicants with scholarly and teaching interest in one or more of the following areas: African-American art, Native-American art, Asian-American art, Latino-American art, or Diaspora Studies. Candidates with Ph.D. in hand and with at least two years of college-level teaching experience preferred.
The successful candidate would develop a body of courses ranging from individual and collaborative surveys to topical courses and seminars based on his or her research interests. Ideal candidates would enrich the college’s interdisciplinary networks and engage with the Colby College Museum of Art.
Please submit the following items electronically to arthistory@colby.edu: cover letter, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, statement of teaching philosophy and research interests, and representative sample of current scholarship, e.g., reprints of recently published work. Review of applications will begin on Dec. 11; interviews will be conducted at the College Art Association annual meeting in New York City in mid-February.
