for a full-time, tenure-track, Assistant Professorship in African

departmental surveys, and advanced courses) in the candidate’s
area(s) of specialization, and one graduate course at the Institute
of Fine Arts. The candidate will supervise undergraduate
independent studies and honors theses, and, at the IFA, masters
theses and doctoral dissertations.
This position is part of a multi-departmental cluster hire in Black

the cluster is to build a network for scholars working in these
areas to collaborate across NYU. More information about this

The appointment will begin on September 1, 2022, subject to
budgetary and administrative approval.
