USA Africa Dialogue Series - Position in History (University of Georgia)

Eastern Africa:  History / African Studies

 

The History Department and African Studies Institute at the University of Georgia invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professorship specializing in the history of eastern Africa, broadly conceived. Candidates must have a Ph.D. at the time of appointment and demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching and research. Special consideration will be given to candidates who share research interests with members of the History Department in areas such as the history of imperialism, capitalism, slavery, race, gender or Islam.

 

The successful candidate will begin a joint appointment in the fall of 2012, teaching courses in the History Department and the African Studies Institute, at both the introductory and advanced levels. There will also be occasional opportunities to teach graduate courses in the History Department, where the candidate would ultimately earn tenure.

 

Applicants should email a letter of application, vita, statements on research and teaching interests, two sample syllabi and a writing sample to history@uga.edu as PDF attachments. Please also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same email address. The review of applications will begin November 1, 2011 and continue until an appointment is made. Preliminary interviews will be held at the annual meeting of the ASA in Washington, D.C. from November 17th to 19th. Questions concerning this position should be directed to Tim Cleaveland, Search Committee Chair, at tcleave@uga.edu.

 

The Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, its many units, and the University of Georgia are committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and students, and sustaining a work and learning environment that is inclusive. Women, minorities and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply. The University of Georgia is an EEO/AA institution.
