One-year position in Renaissance art (Pittsburgh)
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 29, 2011-April 30, 2012
Application deadline: Jul 22, 2011
The department of History of Art and Architecture at the University of
Pittsburgh is currently seeking a one-year replacement at the rank of
visiting assistant professor, in the field of European or global
Renaissance, for the academic year 2011-12 (with a start date of August
29, 2011 and an end date of April 29, 2012). The teaching load is two
courses per term, with an additional expectation of some interaction
with graduate students working on premodern European topics. PhD and
teaching experience are required.
We are particularly interested in attracting emerging scholars with
innovative approaches to their field, and with an interest in
connecting their area of specialty to larger intellectual frameworks
that cut across field and disciplines. The dept has recently
reorganized itself with this goal in mind; see:
http://www.haa.pitt.edu/about/index.html. Depending on budget and
planning considerations, there is a strong possibility that a permanent
position will open along these lines, for which the successful
candidate would be welcome to apply.
Please send, in a single PDF file, an application packet consisting of
a cover letter discussing your qualifications and research profile, cv,
teaching portfolio (max 10 pages), and list of three references to
Prof. Kirk Savage at [log in to unmask]
The University of Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action, Equal
Opportunity Employer. Women and members of minority groups
