The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Cooper Union invites applications for the position of Associate Professor of Art History (full-time), with a specialty in twentieth-century and contemporary art and its relation to culture and politics. The candidate should be well prepared in the foundational modernist movements of the first half of the twentieth century and will have at least four academic years of teaching art history to art students. Candidates must have a record of scholarly publication and fluency in international critical perspectives. A PhD in art history is required.

The successful candidate will teach in the freshman art history core curriculum as well as offer a variety of advanced courses of his or her own design, taught in small classes. The applicant needs to demonstrate evidence of a strong commitment to teaching as well as active, ongoing engagement with scholarly publication, curatorial practice, and other aspects of art historical professional life.  

All applications must include: a letter of interest describing the applicant's strengths, teaching experience, and research; a curriculum vitae; and the names and contact information for three referees. Candidates should expect to submit a selection of written work upon request. 

The application deadline is August 23, 2021 with an immediate appointment for the fall 2021 term, beginning August 30, 2021.
