Professor and Wilson Chair of Interdisciplinary Humanities
Rhodes College invites applications for the Spence Wilson Distinguished Chair in Humanities, a new faculty position created as the result of a major endowment to the College. In adding this Distinguished Chair to its faculty, Rhodes hopes to build on an already vibrant scholarly community in its Humanities division by recruiting a well established and dynamic scholar and undergraduate teacher. Applications are welcomed from candidates working in any area(s) of the Humanities.
Regardless of the candidate's research field, we are interested in individuals with demonstrated ability in several areas. First, we seek a scholar currently engaged in research that carries particular significance within her/his field and within the disciplines of the Humanities more broadly defined. Second, we seek a talented intellectual leader whose work will illuminate and be illuminated by scholarly dialogue among Rhodes faculty across a range of approaches and topics. Finally, we seek a colleague dedicated to undergraduate teaching, able to develop courses (and perhaps other initiatives) that bring students directly into contact with emerging knowledge in the Humanities. Rhodes offers substantial opportunity to engage in research with highly motivated students, and we seek a scholar eager to engage undergraduates with the most significant questions driving his/her own research.
Candidates should have a record of publication appropriate for a tenured appointment at or approaching the level of Full Professor. Candidates should also demonstrate a commitment to innovative and dynamic undergraduate teaching. In addition to a remuneration package commensurate with a tenured, endowed Chair appointment, this position offers substantial funding for research and scholarly activities.
Nominations are requested by October 5, 2009, and applications by November 2, 2009. The application letter should be accompanied by a curriculum vitae. The candidate should address in a cover letter how she/he would fulfill the goals of this position, providing specific examples based on his/her record and achievements.
