Deadline: 15 December 2006

The Department of Art & Art History at Stanford University seeks
applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor position with
expertise in European Renaissance Art. The appointment is expected
to begin on 1 September 2007. We hope to attract a pool of scholars
with a wide range of research interests and methods. The successful
candidate will be expected to develop a cycle of core Renaissance
courses in both Mediterranean and Northern European art and
architecture for our undergraduate majors, and to offer
graduate-level courses and seminars related to his or her research
interests. Recent recipients of the Ph.D. are invited to apply, but
we are especially interested in candidates with a record of one to
three years of successful teaching at the university level. The
ideal candidate would also bring to Stanford evidence of scholarly
promise and a program of future research that should attract graduate
students of the highest caliber.

Stanford offers excellent research facilities, several programs (such
as our Interdisciplinary Program in the Humanities) designed to
foster the professional development of young scholars, and
competitive salaries and benefits.

Interested candidates should send a letter detailing the direction of
current research and teaching objectives, a CV, three letters of
recommendation, and a writing sample to: Chair, Search Committee in
European Renaissance Art, Department of Art & Art History, Stanford
University, 435 Lasuen Mall, Stanford CA 94305-2018.
