Tenure track

Description:

“The position is open in terms of geographical and chronological focus, welcoming a range of local, regional, transregional, or comparative approaches to the study of art and the built environment in Africa, Asia, and/or Europe from the 7th to the 15th century. Candidates’ teaching and research might also engage historic trade routes, sites of pilgrimage, axes of scholarly exchange, or itineraries of conquest and enslavement, such as the Trans-Saharan Trade, the Indian Ocean System, or the Silk Road. The department seeks applicants whose scholarship advances new insights on circulation, transmission, translation, reuse/adaptation, and material cultures across overlapping medieval worlds. Candidates’ teaching and research should demonstrate engagement with the changing dynamics of the discipline both methodologically and topically, including, among others, studies of race, disability, empire, ecology, gender, sexuality, and the digital humanities.”
