2009.

Dear colleagues,

With sponsorship from the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Institut
national d'Histoire de l'Art (Paris), the Ecole Normale Supérieure
(Paris),
the Université de Paris-Ouest Nanterre La Défense and the Université
François Rabelais deTours are pleased to announce

- a new two-year fellowship for the teaching and study of historical
American art (pre-1980) (2009-2010) and
- two five-week Terra Visiting Professorships in American Art (2009-2010
and
2010-2011).

More detailed information is availableon the site http://www.dhta.ens.fr.

Deadline for applications : Februray 1st, 2009 (Postdoctoral Fellowship)
and February 5, 2009 (Visiting Professorship).

The Visiting Professorships are available through the Institut National
d'Histoire de l'Art for the academic years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 to
senior
academics whose work examines American art and visual culture with a
secondary specialization in transcultural context/transatlantic exchanges.
The candidate is not required to hold a teaching position in American art
history as long as American art, or art and visual culture produced in the
United States, constitutes a substantial part of his/her area of
specialization and courses taught. The chronological focus of research and
teaching can encompass, but is not limited to, 19th and 20th century
American art and visual culture.

The postdoctoral Fellowship will enable a recent postdoctoral scholar to
teach in the three mentioned institutions (the Ecole Normale Supérieure,
the
Université de Paris-Ouest Nanterre La Défense and the Université François
Rabelais de Tours), and to participate in research related to their fields
of study. All courses will be taught in English, and will address students
from the third year of university to the doctorate level ; they will be
either students in art history, or students in American or Anglo-Saxon
studies. The subjects of the two courses will focus on American art topics
(nineteenth century, twentieth century, either pre- or post-WWII), but
courses related to American art methodologies and topics (history of art
and
cultural studies) will also be considered. A course proposal based on
international artistic relationships (transatlantic or transpacific) would
also be welcome.

For the Selection Committee,
