The Art and Art History Department at Macalester College seeks candidates for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor in Art History with a specialty in Asian art and the ability to offer courses that connect the arts of Asia to other cultures and to the Asian diaspora. The successful candidate will contribute to the undergraduate curriculum and will teach introductory, intermediate, and upper-level courses in Asian art and outside of that area of specialization, including a range of topic oriented courses and the senior Art History Methodology Seminar. The Department welcomes candidates with contemporary approaches to the study of art history and visual culture. The art history program is integrated with a vigorous studio program in a liberal arts undergraduate college.
