The Department of History at Vassar College invites applications
for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Latin American
history, beginning Fall 2021. Vassar College is an affirmative
action and equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to
increasing the diversity of the campus community and the
curriculum, and to promoting an environment of equality, inclusion,
and respect for difference. Candidates who can contribute to this
goal through their teaching, research, and other activities are
encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences in this
area. Individuals from underrepresented groups in the American
professoriate are particularly encouraged to apply. Field of
specialization is open, but the successful applicant will be able
to offer courses on the history of the region from the
pre-Columbian period to the contemporary era. At least one course
should focus on the pre-1800 history of the region. Candidates who
can contribute to one or several of Vassar's rich multidisciplinary
programs (such as Latin American and Latino/a Studies, Women's
Studies, or Environmental Studies) are especially encouraged to
apply. Candidates should submit a letter of application, C.V.,
writing sample (roughly 30 pages), graduate transcript (an
unofficial copy is acceptable for initial application), a statement
highlighting contributions to or future plans for promoting
diversity and inclusion through teaching, research, and other
involvements, and three letters of recommendation. Applications
should be addressed to Latin American History Search Committee and
submitted online at
employment.vassar.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=53047. Address
any questions to History Administrative Assistant, Michelle Whalen
(miwhalen@vassar.edu). Review of applicant materials will begin on
October 1, 2020 and will continue until the position has been
filled.
