The Department of History at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton invites applications for a Tenure Track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to commence on July 1, 2023, subject to final budgetary approval.
Candidates should have a completed PhD, or be close to completion, with research and teaching interests in Medieval or Early Modern History.
The successful candidate will build on one or more of the department's strengths in the histories of prejudice and racism, war and society, intelligence and/or policing, gender and sexuality, settler colonialism, slavery, and imperialism. Although the geographical focus is open, we seek a scholar with expertise in transcultural exchange or armed conflict, between the European, Near Eastern, African, or Asian worlds, or one who studies underrepresented groups, such as Black Europeans.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic department of excellent teachers and researchers and will work with its strong undergraduate and graduate programs. There will be opportunity to build the new interdisciplinary Ancient World Studies program alongside our colleagues in Classics & Ancient History, the potential to collaborate with the Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society and/or the Atlantic Canada Studies Centre, and to join the Atlantic Medieval and Early Modern Group (AMEMG), an active research network of over 60 members.
By January 31, 2023, interested applicants should submit a cover letter outlining their teaching experience and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference, sent under separate cover, to misty.sullivan@unb.ca. Please do not send course syllabi, writing samples, or teaching dossiers, unless requested. Questions about this position should be directed to Dr. Lisa Todd, Chair of History: LTodd@unb.ca.
Short-listed candidates will be required to provide satisfactory proof of credentials including appropriately certified translations of credentials into English, as applicable.
