Visiting Assistant Professor of History

St. Norbert College, a nationally ranked, private, Catholic, liberal arts college, seeks outstanding candidates for a Visiting Assistant Professor position in History, beginning in August 2027. Candidates should be ABD or hold a Ph.D., and demonstrate enthusiasm for teaching introductory courses in U.S. History. Interdisciplinary scholars whose research and teaching are centered in U.S. History or American Studies are also encouraged to apply.
