The University of North Carolina at Pembroke invites applications for a two-year term position as a Visiting Assistant Professor to teach courses in Medieval and Early Modern Europe. The History Department is a collegial and supportive community with a strong record of award-winning teaching, publication, and service. We welcome applicants who are interested in contributing to our diverse campus community.

We are particularly interested in applicants with a demonstrable dedication to undergraduate education and with an appreciation of the regional service mission of a mid-sized university.
