 * THIS IS A BOGUS SEARCH, DONT WAST YOUR TIME APPLYING. ITS GOING TO THE INSIDE CANDIDATE WHO HAS BEEN TEACHING THERE FOR YEARS.
 * Just because there's an inside candidate doesn't mean it's a "bogus search" or a waste of time. On the contrary, not applying would be a wasted opportunity. There's always a chance the inside person is not the shoo-in you assume her to be -- and even if she is, at least you've had a chance to get your work into the hands of the committee. Take all occasions to let people know who you are, even if you're a long shot!

Connecticut College (CT) - TT Assistant Professor in History of Architecture and Urbanism
Connecticut College seeks applications for a tenure-track position in the Department of [http:// Art History] and Architectural Studies beginning in fall 2016. The successful candidate will have expertise in the history of architecture and urbanism. The sub-specialty is open, but preference will be given to scholars whose focus is architecture and urbanism after 1800. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in art history or a related field, a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and an active research program.

The successful candidate will be conversant with current theoretical approaches and eager to highlight theory across the spectrum of courses to be taught: the survey of Western architecture from the Renaissance to the present, intermediate electives, and advanced seminars. The Department of Art History and Architectural Studies is committed to interdisciplinarity, and the major program in Architectural Studies is its most broadly interdisciplinary component: about 70% of the elective courses that can fulfill requirements for the major in Architectural Studies are offered by departments and programs other than Art History and Architectural Studies. The candidate will offer courses that contribute to the college’s new Connections program.

Recognizing that intellectual vitality and diversity are inseparable, the College is continuing with what has been a very successful initiative to diversify its faculty, student body and curriculum. The College seeks creative scholars excited about working in a liberal arts setting, with its strong focus on engaged teaching, participation in shared governance, and active involvement in an institution-wide advancement of diversity.

The College’s commitment to excellence in teaching is manifest in the programs on campus devoted to issues of pedagogy, in particular those of the Joy Shechtman Mankoff Center for Teaching and Learning. Equally important to both the department and the College are the prospects for and the encouragement of faculty research, from small grants-in-aid to subsidizing student collaboration on faculty projects. The generous sabbatical policy (for every six semesters of teaching, one semester of leave at 80% of salary) affords further opportunity for research and writing.

Tenure-track faculty teach a 3-2 load, 2-2 in the first year. In addition to providing all faculty with strong ongoing support for teaching and research, the College offers these resources for pre-tenured faculty: a summer stipend for the first two years, a supplementary research fund, and a semester’s sabbatical after a successful third-year review. AA/EEO.

Applicants should submit: (1) a CV, with the names and contact information of three references. Letters of reference should be sent directly to the Interfolio address listed below; (2) a cover letter of not more than two pages stating research interests, teaching philosophy, and two proposed course titles; (3) a sample syllabus; and (4) teaching evaluations, if available, to Joseph D.
