In an initiative to broaden our methodological and conceptual coverage, the Department of Art History at the University of Chicago invites applications for an appointment at the rank of assistant professor with an expected start date of July 1, 2021, or as soon as possible thereafter. 

The Department seeks applicants with innovative approaches to scholarship in art history, visual media and/or the built environment, an ambitious research agenda, and a commitment to developing pedagogical techniques for teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Scholars working in any period and any area are invited to apply, including those who would build on existing departmental strengths. A demonstrated engagement with underrepresented or emerging fields within art history and/or with interdisciplinary studies is desirable. The position includes a normal teaching load of four courses per year, as well as usual advising and service responsibilities.
Qualifications

All requirements for the PhD in Art History or a related field must be completed by the start of the appointment.

The position is contingent on final budgetary approval. 

A goal of the search is to increase the diversity of the faculty in the Department, and we therefore welcome applicants who come from groups that are historically underrepresented in the disciplines noted above, such as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and individuals with disabilities.
