The Department of History at the University of South Carolina wishes to
hire a historian with demonstrated research and teaching interests in
the
history of nationalism and separatism for a tenure track assistant
professorship. The search is open to any geographic and chronological
specialization within modern history since c. 1750. Applications from
those taking a comparative, international approach to the study of
nationalism and separatism are especially welcome. Those with
specialized
research interests focusing on a particular country or region should be
able to place their subject within a broad international context.
This search is part of the University's Faculty Excellence Initiative
program and will also involve related searches in Anthropology and Law.
The goals are to foster an interdisciplinary group on nationalism and
separatism among new and existing scholars at the University of South
Carolina, generate programs for the broader community of scholars, and
create an international venue for the examination of a subject of timely
and compelling significance.
Along with a CV, candidates should submit a letter of application that
specifies their qualifications for the position and discusses current
and
future research as well as teaching interests. Candidates should
arrange
for three letters of recommendation to be sent separately. For full
consideration, applications should be received by November 3, 2008. All
materials should be sent to: W. Dean Kinzley, Chair, Nationalism and
Separatism Search Committee; Department of History, University of South
Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208.
