Sarah Lawrence College: Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) History of Early Modern European Art in a Global Perspective (ca. 1400-1750)

Sarah Lawrence College seeks candidates for a tenure-track position in History of Early Modern European Art in a Global Perspective (ca. 1400-1750) with a start date of fall 2025. We seek scholars who decenter the canon by situating European art and architecture within histories of global trade networks, colonialism, enslavement, expansion, and empire, engaging discourses of the Global Mediterranean, and/or the Transpacific and Transatlantic Worlds. The candidate will offer a secondary teaching field in African, Asian, Pre-Columbian or Colonial Latin American Art, bringing geographical breadth and depth to the position. We seek a scholar who will introduce students to art historical tools, closely considering objects and artifacts in collections in the New York area to tell new stories about form, affect, and materiality, and/or to interrupt canonical narratives of art history.

The ideal candidate will connect and collaborate across disciplines at the college to foster student engagement around interdisciplinary issues such as global trade networks, migration, colonization, and histories of globalization. The candidate will also adopt innovative methodological and pedagogical approaches, to offer introductory surveys as well as focused seminars. Sarah Lawrence students enrolled in seminars also engage in substantial research projects developed directly with faculty. We seek a colleague who is committed to mentoring and teaching students, especially those who are underrepresented in the academy, and who can think creatively and ambitiously about new directions for the Art History curriculum at Sarah Lawrence.

Applications should include the following: cover letter; curriculum vitae; statement of teaching philosophy, including consideration of pedagogical and curricular inclusivity; two sample syllabi; course descriptions for three courses that the candidate might offer at Sarah Lawrence, including one outside the Early Modern European field; a brief sample of academic writing; and three letters of recommendation.

We encourage candidates to learn more about the philosophy of education and pedagogical approach that makes Sarah Lawrence distinctive and to indicate both in their cover letters and syllabi how they might envision working in this format.

Compensation listed for this position is for a full-time tenure-track faculty position and will be contingent on teaching experience.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Art or Architectural History, or Visual/Material Culture and should have received their PhD by Fall 2025.

The position will remain open until filled; review of applications will begin on September 30, 2024. Posting here.
