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 associate or full professor in art, architecture, material and/or visual culture (note that this is a companion search for a similar position at the junior level) 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 serious commitment to 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.

Applicants must have a PhD in Art History or a related field and must hold the rank of Associate or Full Professor, or foreign equivalent, at the time of application.

This 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.
