UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY
Assistant Professor, Modern France and the French Empire and Postcolonial World, 18th Century to the Present
The History Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a position in modern France and the French empire and postcolonial world, 18th century to the present, at the Assistant (tenure-track) level. Research focus may be centered on interactions of France with colonial Southeast Asia, North Africa, West Africa, or the Caribbean. Thematic interests may include, but are not limited to, empire, colonialism, and anticolonialism; gender; environment and technology; and cultural history.
The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to teach undergraduate and graduate courses focused broadly on the intersection of French metropolitan and imperial/postcolonial history, and to contribute to the undergraduate survey in European history. Additionally, the ability to contribute to the department’s World History curriculum at both levels is desirable, as is the ability to contribute to graduate training under the rubric Early Modern/Modern Europe and the World. The position carries a five-course-equivalency workload, which normally means teaching four courses over three quarters and carrying out other academic and service responsibilities. The successful candidate must be able to work with students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.
