Job Description

Position Introduction:

The Department of Art at Vassar College invites applications for a part-time, one-year position in the history of art of the Americas to begin Fall 2026. We seek an art historian focused on the visual culture, broadly construed, of the American hemisphere from Iberian Conquest to the Second World War. Recognizing the geographical and cultural extent of this field, we encourage transnational approaches, with broad expertise in the art of North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean. Questions around the fluid migration of the many artistic and religious traditions, the cultural encounters that produce new forms of hybridity, and the geopolitics of production, we expect, will inform the candidate's scholarship.

Job Description:

This is an academic year position (benefits eligible). It entails teaching one advanced seminar, and offering a series of 3-4 lectures in the team-taught survey, Introduction to the History of Art and Architecture. In addition, there will be one fall and two spring conference sections in the Introduction to the History of Art and Architecture included in the position (the equivalent of 3 one-credit courses per year). Available resources include the teaching collections of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, as well as the many collections and archives in the Hudson Valley and New York City.

Application Materials:

• Cover Letter & CV
  
• Teaching Statement
  
• Writing Sample
  
• Contact information for three references
  
• Other: sample syllabi, if available

Please contact Tobias Armborst at toarmborst@vassar.edu with any questions. Review of applicant materials will begin on March 31, 2026 and will continue until the position has been filled.
