Tenure-track Assistant Professor of Transnational Modern European History

Location: Philadelphia, PA
Open Date: Oct 01, 2024
Deadline:

The Department of History at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of transnational modern Europe, 1789-1989, including international history and/or the study of historical processes, institutions, or subjects that move beyond the framework of the sovereign nation-state. The search welcomes applications from junior scholars working on any region of Europe apart from the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. In addition to offering courses that serve students in History, the successful candidate will be required to teach on a regular basis an undergraduate lecture course on the history of international relations, a vital need for Penn's International Relations major. Receipt of the Ph.D. is expected by the time of appointment.

We seek candidates who share our strong commitment to research, teaching, and mentoring and to a scholarly community shaped by the values of inclusivity and excellence. The History Department and the School of Arts and Sciences are committed to creating a learning environment that reflects the diversity of the world we live in. Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, writing sample, and three letters of recommendation to be submitted separately by their authors. If the writing sample is part of a dissertation or larger project, include an abstract explaining the writing sample's relation to the larger project. Candidates are encouraged to apply by November 15, 2024. The review process will begin immediately after that date and continue until the position is filled.

The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity employer and complies with applicable EEO and affirmative action regulations. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
