Utah State University (UT) - TT Asst. Professor - Art Historian - Modernist/Americanist
The Art Department at Utah State University seeks qualified candidates for a tenure-track position as an assistant professor in art history with a specialization in modern and/or American art. The successful candidate will demonstrate teaching experience in both western art history survey and upper-division courses, excellence in research, and a commitment to developing a small but promising art history and visual studies program in the context of a multi-disciplinary art department in the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University.

The department currently offers undergraduate degrees in art education, art history, ceramics, graphic design, interior design, painting and drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. A small number of MFA students are admitted each year to selective programs in the art practice fields. The college is committed to excellence across its four units: theater, music, art and design, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. USU is known as a regional hub for the arts, and is the home to the state’s only resident string quartet, an annual opera festival, and one of the largest fine-arts museum collections in the Intermountain West.

Utah State serves approximately 28,000 students at its main and regional campuses and at USU Eastern; approximately 15,000 students attend the main Logan campus, the oldest residential institution of higher learning in the state. The faculty at USU is diverse and represents degree holders from leading institutions both national and international. The student body is primarily drawn from the west, but also includes many international students. USU has a strong commitment in its mission to both international education and undergraduate research: the art department alone is home to four study-abroad programs, and USU’s office of undergraduate research is the second oldest in the nation, following only MIT. The university is located in northeastern Utah’s Cache Valley, eighty miles from Salt Lake City, and close to some of the Intermountain West region’s many National Parks, ski areas, recreational opportunities, and cultural resources.

Responsibilities

As USU is a research-intensive and extensive institution, the assistant professor in art history will be responsible for maintaining an active program of research, presentation, and publication. This will be the primary field of evaluation for the probationary period and for advancement in rank and tenure. Teaching responsibilities include a 2/3 course load covering an introductory art history survey of western art from the Renaissance to the modern period, upper division lecture/discussion and seminar courses in her or his area of research specialization, and the MFA seminar on contemporary issues in art criticism and theory. Both classroom and online (distance) teaching are expected. Service responsibilities may include departmental, college, or university committee work, and successful candidates for tenure are expected to give evidence of national service to their profession.

NOTES:

This is a **rigged** search to hire a current, long-term VAP. Don't waste your time.
 * If I had a penny for every time someone cried "rigged search," when the search turned out not to be so, I'd have like fifty pennies. The perceived advantages of being a VAP (faculty know you, you're on home turf) are counter-balanced by the disadvantages (faculty know you, you're on home turf). Don't listen to the nay-sayers and the conspiracy theorists: apply, apply, and apply.
 * While I generally agree with the above, as someone who now makes faculty hires (seen it from both sides) and as someone who knows a little something about this department in particular, I do not discount the "rigged" comment here. As in every case, nothing is black and white. But, in this case, the shades of gray all point to a "rigged" search. So, apply but know you are going up against this VAP who will give you a run for your money.
 * Let's not get too picky here: remember that the VAP may not accept the job if they offer it. All searches are dynamic until they are over.

===University of Essex (UK) - Lectureship / Senior Lectureship / Reader in Art History (1300-1850)===

The School of Philosophy and Art History at the University of Essex is pleased to invite applications for a post with the rank of Lecturer (with eligibility for permanency), Senior Lecturer, or Reader. We are well represented in 20th and 21st century art and visual culture, and particularly seek someone with expertise in the history of art, architecture, and/or visual culture between the dates of 1300 and 1850.

You will be expected to carry out a vigorous programme of independent research, to contribute broadly to teaching and supervision activities within the School, and to participate in the usual range of administrative duties. Essential qualifications for the post include: a PhD (or one awaiting examination) in Art History or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience; evidence of research excellence; experience of teaching in a higher education environment or the demonstrable potential for excellence in teaching.

Essex Art History is part of the School of Philosophy and Art History, a community of academics who share a common project of researching and teaching art and ideas. We were ranked in the top ten in the last UK Research Assessment Exercise, and eleventh nationally in the Complete University Guide 2015. We offer a wide range of courses for undergraduates, taught postgraduates and doctoral research students in an environment that emphasises collaboration and collegiality for both research and teaching. The University is home to the largest public collection of Latin American art in Europe (http://www.escala.org.uk ) and a campus gallery called Art Exchange. We also have strong links with regional visual arts organisations including Firstsite (http://www.firstsite.uk.net ) in Colchester.

Essex Art History features a dynamic group of art historians who investigate the production and reception of images and built environments, across cultures and media from the early modern period to the present. While we adopt a diverse range of approaches in our writing and teaching, our work demonstrates a commitment to three key ideas:

1. The social and political implications of art, architecture, and visual culture.

All forms of visual culture – from paintings to building interiors, from medical imagery to tattoos – emerge from and contribute to the mediation of social and political forces. Scholars at Essex investigate the role of art and visual culture in the assertion, negotiation, and contestation of power in relation to a variety of topics, including the planning of tyrants’ cities in the Italian Renaissance; the entanglement of the historical avant-garde with the politics of Fascism; and the production of objects by contemporary activists in pursuit of social change. Throughout our work, we emphasise issues of autonomy, agency, dissent, and the contestation of the public realm.

2. Space, place, and locale.

Art historians at Essex are strongly concerned with the conceptualisation, production, experience, and representation of spaces and places. We investigate topics that include the ideologies that drive urban change; architectural metaphors in software design; the fusion of real and imaginary places in religious paintings; the design of exhibition spaces and the implications of curatorial practice; and the varied locales and landscapes of the county of Essex itself.

3. Art produced beyond its historic institutions.

We are committed to bringing the approaches of art history into contact with other disciplines and discourses in order to interrogate objects of our shared visual and material culture, including body art, medical illustrations, wax casts, activist placards, and Fascist floor mosaics. Our trans disciplinary approach facilitates critical engagement with an array of works of art and visual culture that stand both within and beyond the traditional canons of art history.

Salary: £38,511 -£54,841 per annum
