The Newcomb Art Department at Tulane University invites applications for the Martha and Donald Robertson Chair in Latin American Art, at the rank of associate or full professor. Scholars specializing in the arts, architecture, visual and material culture of pre-Columbian and colonial cultures in North, Central, and/or South America are encouraged to apply. The Department seeks applicants with a strong record of publications, an ambitious research agenda, as well as considerable experience teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The teaching load is 2 courses a semester, with the expectation that the hire will recruit and mentor graduate students and participate in departmental and university service.

We are looking to complement the research and teaching profiles of existing Tulane faculty and to build on the tremendous reputation of the department and school in field of Latin American studies. Faculty members enjoy a very collegial environment, flexibility in course offerings, accomplished and engaged students, and small class sizes. Generous support for both travel and research funds are available.  The Newcomb Art Department is one of the largest and most active departments in the School of Liberal Arts. Tulane is home to the Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies, the Middle American Research Institute, the Latin American Library and a particular concentration of faculty in numerous fields  specializing in Latin America.  The New Orleans Museum of Art and the Middle American Research Institute both hold important collections of objects and archives of interest to scholars.
