Modern Russian History

Wesleyan University’s History Department invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in modern Russian history to begin July 1, 2010.  The successful candidate will be expected to participate fully in all aspects of the life of the College of Social Studies, a multidisciplinary program in history, economics, government, and philosophy.  In addition to offering seminars in her or his specialty, the successful candidate must be prepared to teach Russian history from the Kievan period to the present (including Russia’s engagement with the wider world), a survey course on modern European history from 1815 on, and, at regular intervals, a group tutorial on Europe since 1789 (CSS 240) in the College of Social Studies.  Candidates are expected to have the Ph.D. in hand by July 1, 2010.  Send a letter of application, c.v., three letters of reference and a chapter-length writing sample to modernrussia@wesleyan.edu addressed to Prof. Erik Grimmer-Solem, Chair, Russian History Search. Where necessary, hardcopies may be mailed to the Department of History, Wesleyan University, 238 Church Street, Middletown, CT 06459.  Applications received by November 2, 2009 will be given full consideration.  Screening interviews will be conducted at the AHA Annual Meeting in San Diego, January 7-10, 2010. Wesleyan is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer and welcomes applications from women and members of historically under-represented minority groups.
