The Department of History at Sam Houston State University invites applications for a position at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor, to begin Fall 2024. This is a one-year appointment.

The department seeks a social or cultural historian of the United States. Chronological specialization open, but a preference will be given to candidates whose subfield or methodological approach extends the strengths of the department. The successful candidate will teach four courses per semester, to include both halves of the United States history survey, as well as upper-division and graduate courses in the candidate's area(s) of specialization. Applicants should demonstrate a strong commitment to engaging Sam Houston State University's undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a promising research agenda. Online teaching experience is a plus.

Ph.D. in History is required prior to appointment. ABD candidates may apply; however, the Ph.D. must be completed before the start of the appointment.

To apply, upload to https://shsu.peopleadmin.com/postings/38365 a letter of application, addressed to Dr. Brian Matthew Jordan, Chairperson of the Department of History; a curriculum vitae; unofficial graduate transcripts (official transcripts of all post-secondary education will be required of all finalists); a writing sample of chapter length; two sample syllabi (one for a United States history survey course, and one for an upper-division course, both uploaded as a single file to the Teaching Portfolio link); and three letters of recommendation. If a candidate has not completed the doctorate, one letter must be from the candidate's advisor, addressing the state of the dissertation.

Please note: References provided in the References section of the application will receive an automated email reference request at the time the application is submitted.

Review of applications will begin on May 1, 2024, and continue until the position is filled.
