The Department of History at Rhodes College invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in the history of the Global Middle Ages and/or Medieval Mediterranean world to begin Fall 2020. Candidates at the associate professor level will also be considered. Rhodes College believes that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as an institution, and we seek to recruit, develop, and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool. We are particularly interested in candidates whose teaching and research interests are trans-regional/cultural and interdisciplinary in nature and could contribute to at least one of the following areas: the history of medicine and/or science; migration or frontier studies; Africana Studies; Gender and Sexuality Studies; Jewish, Islamic, and Middle Eastern Studies; Environmental Studies and Sciences; digital history; or public history. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach in the College’s interdisciplinary humanities program and the first year writing seminar. The teaching load is five courses per academic year. The successful candidate will have a record of teaching excellence, an active research agenda, and an interest in faculty governance. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in History, Medieval Studies, or a relevant area-studies program with a strong historical focus.
