The Department of Visual Arts seeks applications for an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship in Non-Western Art History effective August 2008.
Candidates will normally have received their doctoral degree no earlier that 2005 and must demonstrate a commitment to pursuing careers as teacher-scholars in a liberal arts setting. Asian and Islamic specializations are of particular interest. Applicants should be broadly trained in the History of Art and able to teach a general survey course in their area. Applicants are expected to teach more advanced courses = reflecting the applicant's field of specialization. As a small but vigorous
department eager to encourage interdisciplinary exchange, we especially welcome applicants interested in exploring the intersection between Western and non-Western traditions.
This full-time fellowship appointment will be for two years and is non-renewable. Under the mentorship of a tenured faculty member, fellows will teach three courses per year and pursue scholarly projects.
Fellows will have access to funds to support research and travel, will be offered the opportunity to enroll in courses offered by the Colleges of Worcester Consortium's Certificate in College Teaching Program, and will also participate in an on-campus faculty development program that fosters excellence in teaching and scholarship. The fellowship offers a competitive salary and includes full benefits.
