  Position and Qualifications
  
  Applications are welcomed from candidates with teaching and research interests in early modern European history (ca. 1350-1750) and Europe’s connections with the wider world. Desired subfields include gender and sexuality, environmental history, empire and colonialism, history of science, history of medicine, public history, or digital history. ABD candidates are encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. in history or a related discipline must be in hand by June 30, 2024.
  
  The teaching load for this position is six courses per year. The successful candidate will introduce a variety of courses for majors and non-majors that will build the department’s curriculum to reflect current trends in the history of early modern Europe’s global interconnections. Additional duties include service to the department and university, such as student mentorship and advising; supervision of undergraduate internships, research, and theses; and active participation in campus-wide faculty governance. The successful candidate will be committed to excellent academic advising and mentoring of students, including those of underrepresented populations, within and beyond the classroom.
  
  The History program at Hollins focuses not only on teaching students how to read critically and write clearly; a primary goal of the curriculum is to design inclusive courses aimed at providing all students with the opportunity to discover themselves through knowledge of history. In recent years, we have made significant progress in diversifying our curriculum, adding courses in areas such as global slavery, poverty, transgender, and queer history. We aim to hire a candidate who will help us continue to meet our goals of building a diverse and inclusive curriculum.
  
  The History department is an important contributor to other programs at Hollins, including a new general education curriculum and majors in Gender and Women’s Studies, International Studies, Environmental Studies, and Public Health. Applications are especially welcomed from candidates interested in furthering these interdisciplinary collaborations.
