History and New Media at George Mason University are seeking to hire a new
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Digital History,
https://jobs.gmu.edu/postings/48721 with applications due November 15, 2020.
Digital historians and digital art historians pursuing research in any
field of history or art history are encouraged to apply. Area of study and
methodological specialty are open, but only candidates who can demonstrate
that they are digital scholars will be considered. Successful candidates
will work at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (RRCHNM)
and will be expected to initiate and write grant-funded projects to support
their work and the work of the Center.
All of the projects at RRCHNM are open source and open access and our
mission as a Center is to democratize access to historical information.
Work at the Center is highly collaborative, including faculty, staff, and
students in multiple projects and candidates should demonstrate a past
record of working in teams and/or collaborative environments. The person
hired in this position will be expected to collaborate with the other
senior staff to manage the Center, represent it to the wider community,
and plan its overall direction. Candidates should engage with our mission

This position will have a 2/2 teaching load and will have broad latitude in
developing an array of undergraduate and graduate courses in digital
history or art history according to their pedagogical and research
interests. The candidate will also teach our undergraduate general
education course in digital history (HIST 390: The Digital Past) and will
help sustain our required graduate coursework in the field. The incumbent
will maintain an active scholarly agenda in the field of digital history,
art history, or another humanities field relevant to our work at RRCHNM.
Candidates must have completed a Ph.D. by August 23, 2021.
Cheers,
Jessica
