Assistant Professor - Faculty Fellow in Irish Studies Search 2012
Applications are being accepted for an appointment as Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow in the Irish and Irish-American Studies Program in NYU's College of Arts and Sciences.
The Irish Studies Program is located within Glucksman Ireland House, NYU's Center for Irish and Irish-American Studies.
The appointment will begin, pending final budgetary and administrative approval, in September 2012.
This is a term appointment, renewable annually for up to three years.
The Faculty Fellow in Irish Studies should have received the Ph.D. no earlier than September 1, 2007. In no cases will an appointment be made to a candidate without the Ph.D.
Teaching
The position of Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow in Irish Studies will support our undergraduate Minor in Irish Studies, though we hope that Fellows might also contribute to our MA Program in Irish and Irish-American Studies. The Faculty Fellow will teach three courses per year (2/1 or 1/2, on the semester calendar), but will also be eligible to teach in either the six-week Summer Sessions in New York or on our Summer in Dublin Program on the campus of Trinity College, Dublin.
Field of Study
We welcome applications from scholars who can contribute to an evolving inter- and transdisciplinary approach to the field. Applicants should familiarize themselves with our curriculum and articulate in their application letter how they might contribute to its delivery and development. The field of specialization is open, but we are especially interested in scholars whose work is at the intersection of History and of other fields.
We share a concern, historical and theoretical, with how disciplines, broadly conceived, are configured or re-configured by our work in Irish Studies. A mark of our collective scholarly experience is that no orthodoxy governs the shape or trajectory of our concerns, and we hope to welcome a colleague who will broaden and deepen these, or others, in complement to our collective work.

Tips for using the online application system
- You must enter the names and email addresses of your referees before you may upload any documents. Referees may be edited before you submit your final application and they are notified of your request, but you must remember to change them in advance of submission.
- Referees will not be contacted and may not upload references until you submit your final application. Please keep this in mind in terms of the deadline and turn around time for references. You will want to request your references directly with referees in advance of official notification to work with the hiring timeline.
- When using online document management/credentials services such as Interfolio, please enter the credential service-supplied, reference-specific email address instead of the referee's individual email address in the referee contact field.
