Tenure-track Assistant Professor
History, Theory, and Criticism of Art
University of San Diego
The Department of Art of the University of San Diego invites applications for a full-time tenure track position at the rank of assistant professor to begin September 2010. The successful candidate will help develop a new undergraduate curriculum that emphasizes translations and connectivity across the arts, cultures, and continents. Candidates should be able to teach advanced topical courses on the diverse artistic practices and visual cultures in Asia—broadly conceived, encounters between Asian and non-Asian cultures throughout history, colonial histories, or the condition of the arts and artists in times of global flows, migrations and diasporas.
We seek an individual who demonstrates potential for advanced research and scholarship in the history and theory and criticism of art and who can devise innovative strategies to teach in a pluralistic and multi-disciplinary department. The Department of Art promotes academic excellence with small-size classes, seminar-style teaching, faculty-student collaboration and close mentoring. Faculty are eligible for internal Faculty Research Grants (FRG), Large FRG’s, research travel allowances, publication subsidies, and course reductions, and are expected to sustain a clear agenda in research and publications.
The University of San Diego’s Department of Art encompasses art history and visual arts majors, a new curriculum in architecture, and an interdisciplinary program, Art, Technology and Critical Studies. Our art history faculty are particularly interested in the historiography of modern art and architecture, the intersections between art and politics, and critical issues concerning the production, reproduction, and display of art.
Candidates are required to hold a Ph.D. or A.B.D. in art history, visual culture, or allied fields. Applications should include a letter delineating research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, syllabi of a minimum of two courses you would like to teach at the University of San Diego (one introductory course, and one advanced undergraduate seminar), representative writing samples, and contact information for three recommenders. Please explain in your letter how you may contribute to our evolving curriculum in the history, theory and criticism of art. Please include a SASE only if you require the return of your publications/writing samples. For priority consideration materials should be received by November 20, 2009.
