DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, Hanover. The Department of Religion at Dartmouth College
invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the
Assistant Professor level in Indigenous Religions of the Americas, the
South Pacific, the Caribbean, or Australia, which may include African
diasporic traditions in these regions. Appointment to begin as early as
July 1, 2019. Disciplinary and historical specializations are open, but the
ideal candidate’s research will demonstrate a substantive focus upon
religion, thorough grounding in both theoretical and methodological
approaches to the study of religion, ability to work in the relevant
primary languages, and expertise in ethnographic and/or fieldwork
approaches (if appropriate).



Since its inception in 1949, the Religion Department has been committed to
a multidisciplinary, globally diverse curriculum grounded in the academic
study of religion as engaged through a variety of methodological
approaches. The Department offers instruction, from the introductory to the
advanced level, in most of the world’s major religious traditions:
Buddhism; Christianity; Hinduism; Islam; Judaism; the religions of the
ancient Near East; the religions of ancient and modern China; religious
life in the Americas; and the religions of Africa. The Department offers an
undergraduate major and minor. Requirements for this position include
teaching four courses per year (0-2 per quarter over 3 quarters) and normal
department service. Competitive salary, benefits, and research support. The
successful candidate will be expected to teach a broad range of
introductory-, intermediate-, and advanced-level courses within his or her
specialization, as well as contributing to the Department’s theoretical and
methodological offerings. Dartmouth College is an outstanding research
institution of 4400 undergraduates, half of whom are women and
approximately 40% of whom are members of minority groups.



Qualifications

Applicants should have a PhD or be ABD with PhD expected before the start
date of the appointment, along with a record of outstanding scholarship and
effective teaching.



Application Instructions

Candidates should submit via Interfolio a cover letter (detailing current
and future research plans, teaching experience and philosophy, and
contributions to diversity in the context of research, teaching, and/or
service); curriculum vitae; writing sample; research statement; teaching
portfolio with evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g., course
descriptions, course syllabi); and three confidential letters of
recommendation. Review of applications will begin immediately and will
continue until the position is filled. Candidates whose applications are
received by October 20, 2018, will be considered for a preliminary
interview at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion
(November 17-20, 2018), or by video conference for those unable to attend
the conference.
