The Department of Art History in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota invites applications doe a full-time, open rank position in Global Art History (Art of Premodern MediterrAsia) beginning in August 2019.

Art of Premodern MediterrAsia
Scholar of pre-1800 art from any region of interconnected Asia broadly defined—including the Mediterranean region, East Africa, the Middle East, Indian Ocean, and East and Southeast Asia. The area of expertise is therefore open, and should complement areas already represented by faculty in the department. We invite applicants whose work emphasizes methodological innovation, and who are keen on collaborating with colleagues in the department and across the university working on pre-modern periods. The scholarship and teaching interests of the ideal candidate will include transregional and interdisciplinary approaches. Significant resources on campus in this regard include the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern World, Center for Early Modern History, and the Center for Medieval Studies.

Appointment will be 100% time over the nine-month academic year (late-August to late-May). Appointment will be at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor, tenured associate professor, or tenured professor, depending on qualifications and experience, and consistent with collegiate and University policy. Both positions are open rank, but only one appointment may be made at the level of tenured associate professor or tenured full professor.

Responsibilities include engaging actively in research; teaching courses on all undergraduate and graduate levels; the supervision of senior projects, M.A. qualifying papers, and doctoral dissertations; and contributions to service appropriate for the rank of appointment to the department, college, University, and profession.
