Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of History

The Grove City College Department of History is accepting applications for a full-time position in the Department of History from scholars whose teaching and research are focused on US History. The historical time period and thematic field of specialization are open. However, preference will be given to candidates with specializations outside of American Military and American Education History.  We are looking for a colleague with a strong record of classroom teaching and solid scholarship within their field to join a robust and collegial community of scholars. Candidates must have a commitment to teaching highly motivated students at a Christian liberal arts institution. Faculty members are expected to teach a 4/4 load. 

Rank and salary are commensurate with qualifications and relevant experience.     

The successful candidate will teach a two-semester U.S. History survey, participate in Grove City College’s Humanities Program by teaching the 200-Level Western Civilization course, and have the opportunity to develop upper and lower division courses in their own areas of specialization. Additionally, the successful candidate will likely share in a rotation of teaching our Senior Capstone Seminar. 

Application review will begin on October 1 and will continue until the position is filled. Please submit:  

• A cover letter that details why you are interested in the position and an explanation of how your Christian faith represents a strong fit with Grove City College’s unique mission as a Christian college see: https://www.gcc.edu/Home/Our-Story/Faith-Freedom/Vision-Mission-Values A statement outlining your teaching philosophy, which may focus on your motivation to teach at the undergraduate college, and/or thoughts about what constitutes effective pedagogy.
