History Position

MEDIEVAL & EARLY MODERN EUROPE & CONTINENTAL LAW. The Alma College History Department invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position beginning Fall 2007. Candidates should be broadly trained in European (non-British) history but must have a primary specialty in Medieval or Early Modern Europe, with expertise and interest in teaching the other field. Alma's history department prepares many students for careers in law, and an ability to teach courses related to continental law is essential. Preference will be given to qualified candidates who have completed their Ph.D. by August 2007; experience in undergraduate teaching highly desirable.

Alma College's normal teaching load is three courses per term. A typical schedule will include survey courses and upper-level courses in areas of specialization. Candidates must be committed to undergraduate liberal learning and research at a selective Phi Beta Kappa liberal-arts institution; for more information, visit our website at www.alma.edu.

Candidates should send a letter of application, transcripts, c.v., and two letters of recommendation to Professor Edward C. Lorenz, History Department Chairperson, Alma College, 614 W. Superior St., Alma, MI 48801 by December 15, 2006. Firmly committed to diversifying our faculty, we encourage women and minorities to apply. Alma College's non-discrimination policy includes age, color, creed, gender, national origin, physical ability, race, religion and sexual orientation.

 

Students at Alma College can get involved in any of nearly 100 campus organizations, including fraternities and sororities, student government, academic honorary societies, campus media, intramural sports, the performing arts and worship groups.

Spring Term courses offer students opportunities to break out of the “Alma Bubble.” Off-campus study, especially in a foreign country, shows you how you relate to the rest of the world and how the rest of the world views American people, politics and policies. You can then integrate your real world experiences into your academic programs and your future career.
