The Department of History at the University of Rochester invites applications for the Gladys I. and Franklin W. Clark Chair in History. Candidates should be in the field of early modern European history (broadly understood to mean the period from roughly 1600 to 1815 and all areas of Europe, including northern and western Europe, the Balkans, Mediterranean, Scandinavia, and eastern/central Europe).

We are looking for an established, mid-career scholar at the associate or full professorial rank who will complement existing and developing strengths in our graduate and undergraduate programs. We welcome all approaches to historical study and encourage applications from those versed in interdisciplinary and digital methodologies. In general, we seek a recognized scholar who is eager to find creative ways to work with several different departments and participate in the University of Rochester’s new Early Worlds Initiative as well as its burgeoning Humanities Center.
