Assistant Professor of History

The Landmark College Liberal Studies Department has an opening for an assistant professor of history to start in August 2026. We seek a historian specializing in the Global South, broadly defined (Africa, Asia, Latin America, or the Middle East), with strengths in global, transnational, visual culture, and/or postcolonial histories. This position offers the opportunity to develop new courses and support the program’s historical methods, historiography, or research skills offerings.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching and desire to actively engage in departmental and college-wide initiatives, fostering a collaborative academic environment.

The Liberal Studies Department offers B.A. degrees in history, psychology, and liberal studies as well as associate level concentrations and general education courses. The multi-disciplinary department includes faculty in the humanities and social sciences.

Assistant professors are invited to become active community members in service to their students, departments, and the College. Job responsibilities span 9 months, and benefits continue year-round. While faculty do not have duties on campus during student breaks (winter and summer), they may pursue additional teaching opportunities in one of our J-Term or Summer programs.

Job responsibilities:

• Teach 21 credits (seven 3-credit courses) per year
• Provide student support through office hours, individualized mentoring, advising, and project supervision
• Engage in scholarship in one’s field or in the study of teaching and learning
• Participate in shared governance, departmental initiatives, and service to the College
• Contribute to a collaborative, student-centered learning environment for neurodivergent learners
• Demonstrate a commitment to inclusive pedagogical practices
