The Department of History at Williams College seeks to make a tenure-track appointment in medieval European history, to start July 1, 2022. We aim to appoint an assistant professor who will be responsible for teaching the history of Europe, broadly understood, from c. 500-c. 1450. Specialists in all regions of Europe and all methodological approaches are welcome to apply.

Applicants should be able to position their research and teaching with respect to the premodern world at large, whether connectively or comparatively. The candidate should be a dedicated scholar with a Ph.D. in hand or expected by September 2022.

The teaching load in the department is 2-2 plus a January-term course every other year, and faculty have considerable autonomy in developing the curriculum in their fields.
