Assistant Professor in History

The History Department at the University of Texas at El Paso invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of History focusing on 20th and 21st century Black History.

We invite applications from scholars with a wide range of interests, including, but not limited to, subjects such medicine and public health, migration, Afro-Latino, gender and/or Black women's history, history of sexuality, political history, or intellectual history. While the candidate's scholarly research interests do not solely have to focus on African American or US history, the candidate is required to teach an African History course, Intro to African Diasporic Studies, Intro to African American history, and the History of the US, 1865-Present survey.

The successful candidate should have a robust research agenda, ideally involving borderlands, transnational migrations, or global perspectives that will strengthen our PhD program. The department is known internationally for its doctoral program in Borderlands history. This program, which has about 35 students, capitalizes on our location on the U.S.-Mexico border, and encompasses both conceptual and comparative borderlands in global context. The salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications, rank, and experience.

Job Requirements:
A Ph.D. in history or a closely related field is required at the time of appointment.

Preferred but not required: A scholar involved with public-facing scholarship and/or digital humanities.

Additional Information:
Hiring decisions are based on budget approval.
