The Department of History at Florida International University is searching for an open-rank tenured/tenure-track professor position in Modern European History. We are especially interested in candidates who work on authoritarianism or autocracy broadly defined, including questions of historical memory or transnational connections between Europe and other parts of the world.
A Ph.D. in History or related field is required and must be in-hand before beginning the appointment. The candidate will teach a regular 2-2 load and contribute to the History Department’s undergraduate and graduate courses, including our broad M.A. program in History and our Ph.D. program in Atlantic History. FIU is a dynamic research institution and the person hired will have the opportunity to develop contacts with faculty working in cognate disciplines in the humanities and in other programs including the European and Eurasian Studies Program, the Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence, the Václav Havel Program for Human Rights and Democracy, and the Wolfsonian-FIU Museum.
