 * three-year Contractually-Limited Term Appointment (CLTA) at the rank of assistant professor in the field of early modern Islamicate History, to begin Jan 2020
 * Applicants must have a Ph.D. in History or a closely related discipline by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter.
 * ll applicants must have a proven record of excellence in research and teaching about Islamicate worlds, broadly defined, in the period ca. 1500-1800CE/900-1200AH. Regional and thematic specialization is open, but we seek to hire a scholar interested in trans-regional phenomena. The successful candidate’s research and teaching will complement our department’s strength in the study of mobilities of people, objects, and practices within and across imperial formations, and will share our commitment to non-Eurocentric, decolonial pedagogy. Candidates must have research and teaching expertise relevant to historical research in a multi-disciplinary department, particularly at the undergraduate level, and demonstrate ability to teach both historical surveys (e.g. the history of Islam and Muslims from Late Antiquity to the modern era) and more specialized courses--either interdisciplinary or discipline-based--that fit the curricular needs of our programs in History, Global Asia Studies, and/or in African Studies. Ability to contribute meaningfully to other HCS programs, including Women and Gender Studies, Classical Studies, and Food Studies, is a plus.
 * All application materials should be submitted online at http://uoft.me/academicopportunities (Job#1902399). Applications must include a cover letter, current curriculum vitae, a research statement, a writing sample (up to 25 pages, single spaced), and a teaching dossier (including a teaching statement, two sample syllabi of relevant courses, as well as evidence of teaching strength from recent courses taught). Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching and service bear out our commitment to equity. Candidates are therefore also asked to submit a 1‐2 page statement of contributions to equity and diversity, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.
 * Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of reference (signed and on letterhead), including at least one primarily addressing the candidate’s teaching emailed directly by the referees to IslamicateHistory@utsc.utoronto.ca, with the subject line “Islamicate History—your full name”.
