Alfred University Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History: African-American and/or African Art

The School of Art and Design within the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University is seeking applicants for a one-year, full-time Visiting Assistant Professor position in Art History to teach African-American Art History.

This full-time one-year sabbatical replacement position consists of a 2/2 teaching load plus faculty service. In addition to African-American Art History, the ideal candidate will also be able to teach an introductory course in the visual culture of Africa and/or its American diasporas (South, Central, the Caribbean, or Mexico) from the early modern period (c. 1500) to the present, to help satisfy our non-Western curricular offerings.

Teaching responsibilities include the equivalent of a 2/2 load: an introductory level, half-semester course (to be repeated across Fall and Spring), as well as upper-level courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. For the service component, we especially seek candidates who would be involved with diversity-related initiatives at AU, in particular the Art Force 5 (AF5), an award-winning applied learning program that offers students the opportunity to use art for social justice. Most recently, the AF5 has been invited to partner with NYS Office of General Services as they prepare their Harlem Art Collection to be returned to public view. The AF5 will serve to educate various communities on the relevance of this collection and organize community events. The hired candidate may assist in optimizing opportunities and preparing Alfred University students for such collaboration. The project is funded by a SUNY grant, which enables students to travel the state while engaging in social practice involving issues of equality, community, and history.

Located in Western NY, Alfred University is the second oldest co-educational college in the United States and one of the earliest to have enrolled African-American and Native American students. Ideal candidates will demonstrate an appreciation of issues that matter to our university community, such as diversity and social justice. Though open to all undergraduate students at Alfred University, Art History courses primarily serve degree candidates in studio art (BFA), art history and theory (BS), and graduate students (MFA). The Art History curriculum is an integral part of the program at the School of Art and Design. The Division of Art History is one of six divisions in a comprehensive program with a very active faculty and prolific student body who access renowned facilities for artistic and scholarly research.

Qualifications Required: PhD preferred but ABD considered, in Art History or related field. Teaching experience is preferred. Appointment begins in August 2019. Alfred University The School of Art and Design at Alfred University is an accredited member of NASAD, with 33 full-time faculty serving approximately 500 students. The School is unique among institutions of higher education, with an open curriculum, allowing a robust and diverse experience in studio art, design, and art history courses. Students and faculty alike thrive in an intensive and supportive learning environment. Art and Design students are fully integrated into Alfred University’s community. The New York State College of Ceramics (NYSCC) includes the School of Art and Design, the Inamori School of Engineering, and Scholes Library. The NYSCC was established in 1900 to advance research in art, design, and engineering. That intellectual and creative legacy exists in all of the areas of study in the School of Art and Design. Alfred University is an equal opportunity employer (EOE) and actively seeks diversity among its employees. Salary is commensurate with experience. The position offers full benefits.

Application Process Email your letter of interest, CV, sample syllabi, teaching philosophy, and contact information for three references (address, phone number, and email) as one PDF document to humanresources@alfred.edu. Review of applications will begin March 17, 2019. The position is open until filled. For more information, contact humanresources@alfred.edu.

NOTES:

University of Maine at Augusta (Augusta, ME) - TT Assistant Professor of Art History

The University of Maine at Augusta is seeking applicants for a full-time tenure track Assistant Professor of Art History. Teaching responsibilities will include teaching twelve credits per semester including at least one section each term of the two-part introductory course in art and architectural history (ARH 105, 106), Modern Art I and II (ARH 275, 374) plus at least two art history courses per year at mid and upper levels in other areas in art history, architectural history and theory. Teaching modalities will include traditional onsite, online, and hybrid formats. This position will be based on UMA’s Augusta campus and may have Bangor campus responsibilities. The appointment will begin the Fall semester of 2019.

The candidate for this position must be adaptable and able to teach courses in areas outside their field of specialization. The art historian will be responsible for developing new and reviewing current art history offerings, particularly courses that explore contemporary themes, and courses in non-Western art, and, ideally, courses that can be cross-listed with the Architecture major, Human Rights, Women Studies, and American Studies minors. The selection of courses should be coordinated with the needs of the studio art faculty, the Architecture Program, and the General Education Liberal Arts requirements. The art historian may also support UMA’s early college efforts. The art historian need not teach every new course developed, but will analyze University and departmental needs and suggest when specialists might be hired as adjuncts or guest lecturers to supplement the regular offerings.

To serve our mission of integrating students with the community, outreach in connecting students with opportunities for working and volunteering in local institutions including art galleries, photo archives, and museums in the area will be developed by the art historian along with the studio art faculty. A willingness to collaborate across disciplines in the University to fill this purpose of outreach is essential.

The art historian will be the custodian of the Art department’s slide collection, preserving unique or rare slides, work with the University’s library in accessing and updating appropriate art image data bases (such as, but not limited to, Artstor), video and film data bases, as well as confer on purchases of art history books and other resources for the library. The art historian will curate the display cases with changing historical art reproductions, as well as artwork or reproductions/posters in public spaces in Jewett Hall. The art historian will serve on the Arts and Acquisitions committee.

The art historian will be part of the Art department faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences. This requires involvement with the life of the department, and includes advising students, assisting in enrollment activities, participating in student art crits and other pedagogical activities, and attending regular art department meetings. Since the coordinatorship is rotating, the candidate will agree to participate in this service to the department. Service to the college and University is required through attendance at college meetings and volunteer work on various committees and forums, such as Faculty Senate, and a commitment to connecting with the larger community when appropriate is also required.

UMA serves a mix of traditional and non-traditional students and offers a wide array of liberal arts and professional programs leading to certificates, associate and baccalaureate degrees. Programs are delivered on campus and using a network of University centers and sites across the state and internationally. The Art program offers general education and degree specific courses.

Salary: The normal hiring range is low-fifties for a tenure-track position, commensurate with qualifications and experience. The University offers an excellent fringe-benefits package. Qualifications: Required: Candidate will have completed a doctoral degree in any field of art history by the date of hire.

Preferred: Applicants will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching in traditional and online modalities as well as to engage research and/or scholarly activity in their field of specialization. The preferred candidate will be able to teach a range of art history courses, including ones specific to architecture. Other Information:Applicants must complete an online application and submit a cover letter and resume at 'https://uma.hiretouch.com/'. (For our scheduling purposes, please indicate in your cover letter if you will be available for an interview at CAA on February 14th. Your availability will not impact your consideration for this position.) Applicants must also upload a list of courses they are prepared to teach with sample syllabi for courses; the names and complete contact information for three professional references who will provide letters of recommendation in a single PDF document; and transcripts. (Unofficial copies of transcripts will be accepted initially. Candidates invited to campus will need official transcripts sent to the University.) Materials must be submitted via "Apply for Position." You will need to create an applicant profile, complete an application,upload a cover letter which fully describes your qualifications and experiences with specific reference to the required and preferred qualifications, a resume/curriculum vitae and contact information for three professional references. You will also need to complete the affirmative action survey, the self-identification of disability form, and the self-identification of veteran status form.

Review of applications will begin on February 14, 2019. Materials received on or after that date will be considered at the discretion of the university. We are not able to consider applicants who require Visa sponsorship support.

The department is strongly committed to outstanding instruction at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants should therefore also be interested in teaching as an intellectual enterprise in its own right, and able to teach outside their immediate specialization.

This position is pending budgetary approval. PhD and teaching experience are required.

3/4: Has anyone heard anything after the Zoom interview? nox2 3/6: Kind of unclassy that they wouldn't let us know that we were not selected for a campus visit, since they're doing them this week. 

3/6: It would be exceptionally unusual for them to have communication with people who didn't get invited for campus visits. From the point of view of the search committee, you don't close off options until you have someone sign a letter. Yes, that's an unfortunate dynamic.

There is no limit to what a secondary field of interest might be. Applications are especially encouraged from candidates who work broadly within the time frame of 1400 to 1750, and/or across national and geographic borders to address large questions of cultural formation, artistic identity and practice, European and/or global networks of exchange, and the social, religious, political and philosophical significance of the visual arts in the early modern period in Europe.

University of Minnesota (MN) - Open Rank, Art of the Long & Enduring Nineteenth Century

The Department of Art History in the College of Liberal Arts invites applications for two full-time, open rank faculty positions in Global Art History beginning in August 2019. Both positions begin fall semester 2019 (08/26/2019).

Appointments will be 100% time over the nine-month academic year (late-August to late-May). Appointments will be at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor, tenured associate professor, or tenured professor, depending on qualifications and experience, and consistent with collegiate and University policy. Both positions are open rank, but only one appointment may be made at the level of tenured associate professor or tenured full professor.

The Department of Art History seeks two new faculty members to join a dynamic department with a strong commitment to global art history and to critical and theoretical engagement with art-historical methods and practice. As a public, land-grant university, we seek candidates who will challenge undergraduate and graduate students to develop skills of art-historical literacy; who are committed to excellence and creativity in writing; and who will promote student engagement through initiatives such as our undergraduate minor in museum and curatorial studies. Our new hires will develop curricula that complement existing geographical and historical coverage in the department, work collaboratively with their colleagues in art history as well as faculty in other departments and programs, and participate in the interdisciplinary life of the College.

One of the two hires will be a scholar whose research centers on the long and enduring nineteenth century. The ideal candidate will have a track record of work that views art and its history in light of the era’s slow-moving and still-ongoing transformations: including industrialization, imperialism, corporatization, and enslavement -- as well as the rise of modern museology and art history. This work may focus on any geographic or cultural area; our preference is for scholarship that adopts a global and/or translocal perspective. We are especially keen to identify inventive scholars whose teaching and publications rupture traditional art historical categories and specializations, so as to bring forward artistic practices and objects that have otherwise been long overlooked. Our new colleague’s efforts will be matched and supported by ongoing movements underway at Minnesota (both in the department and campus wide): including the Masters in Heritage Studies and Public History, the RIGS Initiative (Race, Indigeneity, Gender, and Sexuality Studies), and the Humanities Engagement Hub.

Responsibilities include: engaging actively in research; teaching courses on all undergraduate and graduate levels; the supervision of senior projects, M.A. qualifying papers, and doctoral dissertations; and contributions to service appropriate for the rank of appointment to the department, college, University, and profession.
The Standards for Promotion and Tenure in the Department of Art History are available at:
https://faculty.umn.edu/sites/faculty.umn.edu/files/art_history.pdf
The Workload Principles and Guidelines for Regular Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts are available at: https://sites.google.com/a/umn.edu/cla-intranet/ofaa/resources/workload-principles--guidelines
Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts are expected to maintain an active program of scholarly research; develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses; advise students; and contribute service appropriate for the rank of appointment to the department, college, university, and profession. Salary is competitive.

A Ph.D. or foreign equivalent in Art History or related field (ABD considered but Ph.D. is strongly preferred by appointment start date); college/university-level teaching experience; a promising record of research and publication.

Candidates will be evaluated according to a) overall quality of their academic preparation and scholarly work, b) relevance of their scholarly research to the department’s academic priorities and fields of inquiry, c) evidence of commitment to teaching and skills as a teacher, and d) strength of recommendations.

Applications must be submitted online. To be considered for this position, please click the Apply button and follow the instructions. You will have the opportunity to complete an online application for the position and attach a cover letter and resume. Additional documents may be attached after application by accessing your "My Activities" page and uploading documents there.

In addition to the materials submitted electronically, applicants are asked to arrange for three letters of recommendation to be e-mailed to the Department of Art History at: farse003@umn.edu

The three letters of recommendation should be addressed to: Professor Jennifer Marshall, Chair, Global Art History Search, Department of Art History, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Applications will be accepted through November 15, 2018.

Earlham Collge (Indiana) - TT Assistant Professor of Art History

Earlham College invites applications for a full-time tenure track position in the Art Department at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning August 2019.  Responsibilities include teaching six courses per year: a two semester Art History survey course each year and four additional offerings in Art History.  The curriculum in Art History serves the needs of Art majors as well as the general education curriculum of the college.

Earlham College is a small liberal arts college with an enrollment of about 1100 students.  Recognized nationally for the quality of its academic programs, the college attracts a student body that is national and international in composition.  The Art Department at Earlham College is unusual among liberal arts schools, because it emphasizes both craft and art.  Along with majors, many students who are non-majors take art courses at all levels and sometimes are the majority of students in the class. Each art major at Earlham chooses art history, ceramics, drawing, metalsmithing, painting, photography or fiber arts as an area of focus.  In addition to building competency in a focus, each student also takes Making Art, and art history courses.  Seniors complete a senior project, which generally leads to a group exhibition held in Leeds Gallery or the presentation of a research paper. Each art major completes an internship as well.   We encourage art students to participate in one of Earlham’s many off-campus programs.  Over 60% of our students spend a semester or more off campus in a great variety of places such as as London, Japan and New Zealand.  Each year several students pursue the option of spending a term engaged in an internship or apprenticeship in New York City, under the auspices of the NY Arts Program, a program operated by Ohio Wesleyan/GLCA. The college also offers a semester of intense studio practice at Penland School of Craft.  PhD preferred.  An interest in teaching undergraduates in a liberal arts context is essential.  Responsibilities include close work with students, working cooperatively with members of the art, music and theatre arts faculties in furthering the cause of the arts in the College, and after the first year, advising and committee service.   Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, a teaching statement and a 300-500 word statement describing your ability to contribute to the advancement of Earlham’s goals of being a diverse and inclusive institution.

Review of applications will commence November 1.

Email 1/26 saying that my profile didn't fit with the direction they wished to go.

1/29 (post rejection): Thick snail mail envelope containing a diversity data form and asking me to fill it out to help them with their statistics. Also included in the mailer were several pages of ads for getting a degree there and information listing all their tutition rates.

Offer Accepted: I was a finalist. Received email notice on 4/12 that they have filled the position with a different candidate. They never contacted my references. (x3 - I was also a finalist and received the same email today. They never contacted my references, either.)

If my information is correct, they brought to campus three finalists from out of town. Three finalists have reported they did not get the job. That means there was a fourth candidate. My guess is that it was their current visiting professor and it was she who got the job. I'm just speculating--I could be wrong about that; maybe it was a different local person. But what I do know is that when the search committee took me out to dinner the evening before my interview they just talked to each other and didn't ask me a single question. It was weird and uncomfortable and a huge red flag that they already knew they weren't seriously interested in me before I even arrived.

4/12: Rejected by then via email A SECOND TIME!!!

The Department of Art History seeks two new faculty members to join a dynamic department with a strong commitment to global art history and to critical and theoretical engagement with art-historical methods and practice. As a public, land-grant university, we seek candidates who will challenge undergraduate and graduate students to develop skills of art-historical literacy; who are committed to excellence and creativity in writing; and who will promote student engagement through initiatives such as our undergraduate minor in museum and curatorial studies. Our new hires will develop curricula that complement existing geographical and historical coverage in the department, work collaboratively with their colleagues in art history as well as faculty in other departments and programs, and participate in the interdisciplinary life of the College.

One of the two hires will be a scholar of pre-1800 art from any region of interconnected Asia broadly defined—including the Mediterranean region, East Africa, the Middle East, Indian Ocean, and East and Southeast Asia. The area of expertise is therefore open, and should complement areas already represented by faculty in the department. We invite applicants whose work emphasizes methodological innovation, and who are keen on collaborating with colleagues in the department and across the university working on pre-modern periods. The scholarship and teaching interests of the ideal candidate will include transregional and interdisciplinary approaches.

Responsibilities include: engaging actively in research; teaching courses on all undergraduate and graduate levels; the supervision of senior projects, M.A. qualifying papers, and doctoral dissertations; and contributions to service appropriate for the rank of appointment to the department, college, University, and profession.

Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts are expected to maintain an active program of scholarly research; develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses; advise students; and contribute service appropriate for the rank of appointment to the department, college, university, and profession. Salary is competitive.

A Ph.D. or foreign equivalent in Art History or related field (ABD considered but Ph.D. is strongly preferred by appointment start date); college/university-level teaching experience; a promising record of research and publication.

Candidates will be evaluated according to a) overall quality of their academic preparation and scholarly work, b) relevance of their scholarly research to the department’s academic priorities and fields of inquiry, c) evidence of commitment to teaching and skills as a teacher, and d) strength of recommendations.

How to Apply: Applications must be submitted online. To be considered for this position, please click the Apply button and follow the instructions. You will have the opportunity to complete an online application for the position and attach a cover letter and resume.

NOTES: 

• This search was conducted last year, 2017-18, and two years ago,2016-2017 . Here are the notes from 2016-2017:

• This is a position at a Baptist University which clearly states that religion can be used a criteria in their search. Note that LBGTQIA applicants are not included in their list of anti-discrimination laws .
• I was told during my interview, which lasted about five minutes, that they will only hire a practicing Christian.(12/3)

• I was told the same - word of warning to the finalists yet to interviewed that you will be disqualified immediately if you are not a practicing Christian. Disingenuous of the search to not state this upfront, and a waste of their and applicants' time. The right to "lawfully consider religious practice as a criterion" is not the same as outright discrimination based on religion, which disqualifying candidates based on religious practice, in fact, is. (12/3)
• OP here. I think they are legally allowed to do this and have been doing so since at least 2014. I know two other people who have had the exact same experience as you and me. 
• I think this is not unfortunately illegal and I also know people who have had this experience with Christian universities. Sad reality but pretty sure there is no way to fight this.

• NOTE BAYLOR official EEOC Statement: "Baylor University is a private not-for-profit university affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

Native American Art

University of New Mexico (NM) - TT Assistant Professor of Native American Art

Probationary appointment leading to a tenure decision. 1.0 FTE. Service and committee work expected. The successful candidate will be expected to develop collaborative working relationships with Native American academic units and groups on campus, and with Indigenous communities off campus locally and in the surrounding region.

The Art History program at UNM is unique in the nation, if not the world, for its concentration in Arts of the Americas. To date, this is the only program with full-time faculty in Pre-Hispanic Art, Spanish Colonial Art, Modern/Contemporary Latin American Art, Native American Art, U.S. and African American Art, and until recently, U.S. Latinx/Chicanx Art. Given the Indigenous presence across the Americas, Native American art overlaps with and is relevant to all of these other areas of specialization. Additionally, areas of study outside of Art History, both in the Department of Art and the College of Fine Arts, intersect with Native American art history, such as Land Arts of the American West, Pueblo Pottery, Studio Ceramics, Art and Ecology, and Ethnomusicology.

The longstanding presence of Native Pueblos and their cultural impact in the region make this area an ideal location for the study of Native history, culture, and art, both historical and living. Also, the presence of museums and community centers, such as the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque and the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, and including other nearby centers, such as Sky City Cultural Center and Haak’u Museum at Acoma Pueblo, among others, are invaluable resources not found anywhere else.

Qualifications

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in the history of Native American Art or related discipline by the time of appointment. One year of University level teaching experience a instructor of record.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Demonstrated ability to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Native American Art History.

Knowledge of current technologies and applications to teaching. Collegiality.

INSTRUCTIONS: All applicants must apply online at the University of New Mexico web site: hr.unm.edu, Req #6395. Please attach as part of the application in the UNMJobs system: a letter of application addressing areas of specialization, research, and teaching interests; CV with names and complete addresses (mailing, telephone, and email) of three professional references; teaching philosophy; diversity statement addressing contributions to diversity through research, teaching, and/or service; 1-2 course syllabi (not to exceed 10 pages each); and 2 writing samples/published work (not to exceed 40 pages each).
