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).

NOTES:


 * FYI this is a spousal job. Inside candidate is wife of new hire in South Asian art history.
 * Is this your own personal speculation, or coming from someone actually connected with the search?
 * The t.t. S. Asianist got the department to secure a job for his wife, a modern S. Asian art historian, when he was hired. She was a lecturer in the department for a year and is now on a fellowship. UCB has to do a national search, but it is not legit.
 * Just a thought: what this would mean is that Berkeley, land of fiscal mismanagement, extreme budget cuts, programmatic cuts and no phones in faculty offices, somehow managed to secure a spousal hire for a) a newly minted PhD, b) whose spouse works in essentially the same field (i.e., S. Asia), c) in a market that has enjoyed a relative glut of excellent S. Asianists in the past several years, and d) in a overall academic environment that has seen spousal hires for all but the most elite senior hires essentially disappear. I have no knowledge of the specific situation, and would not deny that stacked searches leading to inside hires do occur. But as I've said repeatedly on this forum regarding rumors of rigged searches and inside hires (including searches in which I was the supposed insider, as well as ones in which I was an external finalist), I would urge those of you interested in this job not to give this rumor too much credence. However well intentioned the original poster is or how well informed they believe themselves to be, Berkeley is under no obligation to run a search to complete a spousal hire -- I would assume that this is legit unless the University somehow cuts the interview process obviously short on the way to hiring the spouse (i.e., no campus visits). In other words: apply, apply, apply.
 * Word.
 * In terms of UCB having to do a national search, I'm not sure. Lauren Kroiz was hired last year as an assistant prof. and I don't believe that Berkeley ran an Americanist search. I'm not entirely sure what happened there (she's a stellar scholar of course) but if she was hired without a search then I am sure Berkeley could do the same if they intended to make a spousal hire.
 * Indeed. Their Late Antique/Early Christian specialist was also a spousal hire (husband's in a different department), who was brought on with no search. I can't think of any place (especially a highly attractive school like Berkeley) that lets beginning assistant professors demand a t.t. place for their spouse in the same department -- and then conducts a nationwide search (which are hugely expensive, time-consuming enterprises) to cover it up. All this is to affirm: if you're interested, apply! And assume you will be taken seriously.
 * It is RIDICULOUS to suggest that Berkeley -- or any other university -- would conduct a sham search to masquerade an already-decided upon partner hire. Whoever thinks this has no knowledge of how things actually work. Partner hires are conducted without searches -- that was the case with Kroiz, whose husband teaches in a non-humanities field. The Global Modern art position is not a "rigged" partner hire; it is a legitimate and wide-open search for the top candidate in the field-- in fact, if you did your resaerch you might realize that it is a replacment position for TJ Clark, redefined by the department for a new era of art history. Search timings are completely up to the administration and are often subject to their decisions and whims. This precise position had been requested long ago, but it was only recently authorized. Wild speculations and ostensibly "insider" gossip on this wiki do everyone a disservice.
 * ^ That's simply not true. Julia Bryan-Wilson was hired as a Modernist to replace both Anne Wagner and T.J. Clark. Realistically speaking, this was probably because Berkeley didn't have the money at the time to hire two candidates. Before their retirements, Wagner and Clark generally split dissertations on 20th century Western art, with Wagner supervising contemporary/neo-avantgarde/postmodern dissertations, and Clark supervising work on the historical avantgarde/modernism from the 19th century to around 1950. In both cases, however, they were working in a very specifically Western context. To suggest that Berkeley's search for a candidate working in "cross-cultural, colonial and postcolonial, transnational, and “world” contexts" is a search to replace T.J. Clark doesn't make sense. The department could really benefit from a good Western Modernist scholar, say late 19th century - mid twentieth, but this is not that search.
 * As the poster above noted, the position has been "redefined by the department for a new era of art history." The department is not looking to replace Clark himself (how could they?) or even the specific range of things he taught, but rather to fill the *line* that was vacated when he left and that the university could not afford to fill at the time JBW was hired. I'm so glad to see that they are doing this search at last, and expanding the department's breadth -- it's going to be an exciting time to be there.
 * re: "RIDICULOUS" - no, it is most certainly NOT ridiculous to suggest that they might conduct such a search. I am an associate faculty at a flagship public R1 university and I know of a similar situation taking place right now now at our university in an allied department. It's probably not a "sham" search in the sense that they know in advance who they're going to hire, but it may very well be "rigged" in the sense that they know it would be best if they were able to make an offer to a particular person. It's extraordinarily rare for an assistant professor, straight out of grad school, to get a spousal hire in the humanities. But it's fairly common for one to get a visiting lecturer position for their spouse, with that lectureship then "turning into" a tenure-track hire after the department begs the administration for a new search, lest they risk losing their great new hire.  It's just standard university politics.
