Further details on University of New Hampshire position
We are in the preliminary stages of this search; an announcement will appear on H-net, the AHA perspectives, and the University of New Hampshire Human Resources web site by the beginning of August (https://jobs.usnh.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/search/SearchResults_css.jsp or http://www.unh.edu/hr/).
UNH will be advertising for a tenure track position in history. We are seeking applications from scholars who work on periods from Classical Greece up through 1000 A.D. The advertisement indicates a strong interest in candidates whose research focuses on Late Antiquity, which is understood very broadly in both geographical and chronological terms, and includes the Byzantine Empire, the Umayyad Caliphate, Roman Africa and Near East, the Persian empire, as well as the Hellenistic World broadly conceived. The successful candidate will be expected to teach one section of the first half World History per year, and have an understanding of the approaches taken by specialists in World History for teaching this field.
