The Department of Art and Art History at Wesleyan University invites applicants for a tenure-track assistant professorship in 20th century/contemporary American art history. Ph.D. in Art History must be completed by the time of the appointment (July 1, 2014). Preference will be given to candidates who focus on 20th century American art (painting, sculpture, installation art, performance art, or related topics), and who view American art in relationship to wider international practices.
The successful candidate should also be prepared to teach courses in earlier American art. It is expected that one course per year will originate in American Studies. Wesleyan is a highly selective liberal arts college; teaching load is two courses per semester.
