 * 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!
 * True, this is a good opportunity to network. But, I know the search chair and it is a pity that the dean insisited that they do a search at all.
 * I couldn't agree more. I've seen many searches where there is a presumed choice (either an inside or outside candidate) that shifts direction when a shinier object enters the room. Even if there's an inside candidate, people should apply anyway.

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 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.

The Department of History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh is strongly committed to excellence in research, and to inclusive teaching and curatorial practices that promote collaboration, diversity, and expanding our interdisciplinary presence and public outreach. To further our leadership in these areas we seek to hire an Academic Curator, pending budgetary approval. As a tenure-track faculty member in an academic department (HAA), the Academic Curator will be a dynamic individual working to advance the teaching and research missions of the department in collaboration with a range of academic and museum partners. The Academic Curator will play a key role in coordinating the initiatives of the Pittsburgh Constellations Consortium, a working group of local museum collections and academic departments spearheaded by HAA, which has been launched by a large grant from the A.W. Mellon Foundation.

In addition to fostering collaborative research, the Academic Curator’s duties will include: supervising the academic internship program of HAA, which places graduate and undergraduate interns in projects sponsored by Consortium partners; teaching two courses per year in HAA and its museum studies minor, at least one of which will focus on professionalization; leading a week-long faculty and grad student summer workshop using Consortium collections (these workshops are supported by Mellon funding for the next three years [2016-2018]); and maintaining a scholarly research profile in the applicant’s field through peer-reviewed publications, which may be collaborative and co-authored, and may include digital elements and community engagement as significant components.

Since this is a new type of academic position in a university department, HAA is open to candidates with a variety of training paths. A Ph.D. is required, in art history or a related field, as is teaching experience at the university level, along with a strong interest in pedagogy inside and outside the classroom. We also anticipate candidates will have significant curatorial and/or museum experience.

The ideal candidate is expected to have a well-developed area of research expertise, but also broad intellectual interests crossing fields and disciplines, a wide-ranging knowledge of professional museum practices, and proficiency in the digital environment. The position requires strong interpersonal and organizational skills, excellent oral and written communication abilities, and the wherewithal to collaborate effectively and collegially across disciplines and manage multiple projects and deadlines independently.

This appointment will begin September 1, 2016. Applications are due no later than December 15, 2015 and should be sent electronically as a single PDF file to HAA Administrative Assistant, Corrin Trombley ([mailto:cot12@pitt.edu cot12@pitt.edu]; phone: 412.648.2400). The file should have a cover letter that includes a research and teaching statement and discusses how this appointment furthers the applicant’s professional goals. It should also include a curriculum vitae, three letters of reference*, a brief teaching portfolio, a description of the applicant’s curatorial/museum experience, and a writing sample or publication.


 * letters of reference can be sent in separately either by email or hard copy.

The University of Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer. Women, members of minority groups under-represented in academia, veterans, and disabled are especially encouraged to apply.
