UC Berkeley, Global Modern Art, tenure-track, Dept. History of Art, due Oct. 1
Department of History of Art, University of California at Berkeley. Assistant Professor of Global Modern Art (tenure-track). Appointment effective July 1, 2014; PhD or equivalent required by start date. In an initiative to broaden our conceptual coverage and our representation of visual studies as a global discourse, the Department seeks a specialist in the study of modern arts and visual cultures in their cross-cultural, colonial and postcolonial, transnational, and “world” contexts from the later nineteenth century to the 1960s, especially if focused on key technologies of image- and object-production and their histories and economies, both local and global. PhD-level training in non-Western and Western arts and visual cultures is desirable; evidence of thinking beyond established narratives of modern art is essential. Teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels is expected; located in a global research university in a dynamic metropolitan area of the Pacific Rim, the Department administers a large and vital undergraduate curriculum and an internationally prominent PhD program. Affiliation with or cross-appointment in other programs on campus is possible where relevant. The Department seeks candidates whose research, teaching, and/or service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher education; international scholars are especially encouraged to apply.

Applications must include cover letter (no more than 2 pages), brief statements of current research and teaching interests (300 words each), current CV, writing sample (approximately 7,500 words), and three letters of reference.
