The Art History program at the University of Georgia Lamar Dodd School of Art invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track appointment to begin August 2025. We seek a scholar of visual and material culture of the Early Modern period (c.1300-1700). Successful candidates will engage a global approach, one that prioritizes intellectual and material exchanges between Europe, Africa, the Near East, Asia, or the Americas. A candidate’s research focus may lie within any of these geographical areas, while addressing broader early-modern histories such as global trade, religious and social transformation, humanism, technological advancement, enslavement, and empire.

A PhD in Art History or Visual Culture (or related field) is required by the time of appointment. Successful candidates will have a proven record of active research and an emerging or established reputation within Early Modern or Renaissance studies. In addition to an active research agenda, the position carries a teaching load of 4 courses per year at the graduate and undergraduate level. Mentorship and advising of both graduate and undergraduate students is expected, as is participation on graduate committees. Interest in teaching courses that contribute to the museum studies certificate is preferred. We are a collaborative community in which faculty may co-host visiting artists and scholars, develop new cross-listed curricula, and participate in initiatives across the School of Art and Franklin College. For instance, faculty in Art History are encouraged to engage with the Georgia Museum of Art in their research and teaching through on-site class instruction, faculty or student-curated study galleries, and courses in the college’s museum studies certificate program. We would also welcome new approaches to early-modern technologies that might connect with UGA’s growing interdisciplinary programs in AI and digital humanities.

For full consideration, applications should be submitted by Jan. 1, 2025.

Applications should include:
· Resume/CV.
· Cover Letter.
· List of References with Contact Information.
· Teaching Portfolio/Philosophy.
