Job: Assistant Professor, Tenure Track, Modern European History

Modern European History. Assistant Professor, Tenure Track. Anticipated start date, September 1, 2017. The Department of History at Princeton University invites applications from scholars who specialize in the history of Modern Europe, 1800 to the present. We particularly encourage applications from candidates whose expertise complements, rather than duplicates, the department’s existing strengths in British, French and German history.

Applicants should also provide contact information for at least three recommenders as part of the online application process. For candidates who do not yet have a Ph.D., the recommendation of the principal advisor must include precise information on the present status of the dissertation and the likelihood of completion by summer 2017.
