Tenure-track Assistant Professor with a research specialty in any area of Ancient or Medieval art

The Department of Art & Art History at the University of Utah invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor with a research specialty in any area of Ancient or Medieval art, broadly conceived.

We have a particular interest in scholarship with a transregional, transcultural, or global focus and in scholars whose work contributes to increasing the diversity of the department’s intellectual life and offerings. Applicants must be committed to an active program of scholarly research and publication and demonstrate a solid teaching profile.

The successful candidate will teach two courses per semester in the undergraduate and graduate (MA) programs in Art History, including “Introduction to the History of Art” on a rotating basis and topical courses in their area of specialization. The faculty member will develop a curriculum in Ancient/Medieval art history, contribute to the Program’s new online minor, and share in supervision of Honors and Master’s theses. In addition, the faculty member will participate in the Art History program’s “Visual Intersections” initiative, which explores interdisciplinary approaches to the history of the visual arts through thematic seminars that may draw students from a number of disciplines and departments.

We encourage applicants whose teaching and research demonstrates an awareness of diverse methodological concerns and interdisciplinary perspectives. Opportunities exist for collaboration with the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, the College of Humanities, the School of Cultural and Social Transformation, and several interdisciplinary and area studies programs across campus. For more information, visit our web site www.arthistory.utah.edu. Position begins 1 July 2020.

Qualifications: Ph.D. in art history required, or successful dissertation defense by the start date. Teaching experience beyond graduate school preferred.
