The History Department at the University of Chicago invites applications and nominations for a tenure-track assistant professorship in African history to begin autumn 2007. Scholars with broadly conceived research interests and demonstrated teaching abilities in the economic, political, cultural, intellectual, and/or social history of Africa from the 16th to the 20th centuries are encouraged to apply. Although the Department prefers to make a tenure-track appointment, applications from beginning associate professors will also be considered. All research specialities are welcome, and the Department is especially interested in scholars whose work addresses issues of political economy, colonialism and decolonization, religion, the making of diasporas, comparative labor systems, large-scale migrations, medicine and public health, and the gendering of social power. Please send a letter of application with c.v., a dossier including three letters of recommendation, and a chapter-length piece of writing by November 1st to African History Search Committee, Department of History, University of Chicago, 1126 E. 59th St., SS Box 121, Chicago, IL 60637. Selected candidates will be interviewed at the AHA annual meeting. The University of Chicago is an AA/EOE.
