The Department of the History of Art at the University of
Michigan invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track
assistant professor position in the arts of the Americas,
modern and contemporary, beginning in September 2022. Scholars
working in American art and/or visual and material cultures, with
an area of specialization in African American, African Diaspora,
Latinx, Asian American, and/or Indigenous cultures are especially
welcome. We seek to complement current departmental strengths with
a candidate committed to race and gender theory, museum studies,
decolonization, and/or settler colonial studies. The successful
applicant will be asked to develop a range of undergraduate and
graduate courses, to supervise doctoral dissertations, and to
participate actively in the life of the department. The appointee
will be welcomed into a large university community that encourages
interdisciplinary dialogue and is committed to the core values of
diversity, equity, and inclusion. Applicants should provide a cover
letter, CV, statement of current and future research plans,
statement of teaching philosophy and experience, personal statement
demonstrating engagement with issues of equity (described in
greater detail below), evidence of teaching excellence, and a
writing sample.
The personal statement and diversity commitment should include your
demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through
scholarship/research, and/or teaching/mentoring, and/or
service/engagement. There may be some overlap with your research
proposal and teaching statements (1-3 pages).
Application materials, personal statement and diversity commitment, and three letters of reference should be uploaded via Interfolio (http://apply.interfolio.com/89267). The deadline for submission is November 1, 2021. A PhD is required prior to beginning this university year appointment. If you have questions regarding the position, please contact Audra Wilson (Executive Secretary, U-M Department of the History of Art) at histart-execsec@umich.edu.
The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative
action employer and is supportive of the needs of dual career
couples. Women and minority candidates and scholars demonstrably
committed to working with diverse student populations are
encouraged to apply.
