We seek historians and cultural critics who can guide students toward a comprehensive understanding of America across its intellectual, political, economic, religious, literary, and artistic dimensions. Successful candidates will be first-rate teachers and accomplished scholars who approach America’s past with seriousness, independence of mind, and a willingness to engage timely and timeless questions about American national character. We welcome applications from historians and cultural critics specializing in any period of American history, including colonial America, the Founding, the early republic, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Gilded Age, and the twentieth century.
