The Department of Social Sciences at Michigan Technological University invites applications for a visiting assistant professor for a one-year appointment for the 2008-2009 academic year. Preferred area of specialization is history of American technology. Preferred qualifications include completion of a doctorate and research interests that align with the Department’s graduate programs in industrial archeology, industrial heritage, and environmental policy. (ABDs may apply and would be appointed as a lecturer.) The successful applicant will be expected to offer two classes per semester. In fall, one will be an introductory survey course in American history, the other will be a freshman seminar on a topic of the instructor’s choosing. Spring classes will include the second half of the American survey and a class in the history of American technology. The Department will begin reviewing applications on May 15 and continue until an appointment is made, hopefully by June 15. Women and candidates from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Salary, depending upon qualifications, will be in the vicinity of $45,000 with fringe benefits. A final decision on hiring and the date of such a decision is subject to budgetary considerations.
