The Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track assistant professor in American art and visual and material culture.  Applications are especially welcome from scholars with expertise in Native American art, African American art, Latin American/ Latino/Chicano Art, and/or American art in a global context (for example, the art of immigrants or expatriates). The Department seeks a scholar with an innovative approach to art history and visual culture, and the beginnings of a strong publication record.  The successful applicant will teach four courses a year, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, in both lectures and seminars; be responsible for advising Ph.D. students; and help to build the department’s interdisciplinary connections to other programs and areas of study at the university.

The position will begin on September 1, 2016.  Interested candidates should post a letter detailing the direction of current research and teaching objectives, a CV, a writing sample, and three recommendations online at Academic Jobs Online: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6002.  No hard copy applications will be accepted. The deadline for completed applications is October 15, 2015.
