Job Ad: University of Macau

The University of Macau is advertising for a position in Portuguese or Iberian history; the Portuguese overseas empire, eg Macau, seems to be emphasized.

Endowed Chair at Tufts

Tufts University is, as it did last year, advertising for an endowed chair in “Spanish culture and civilization.”

Link requires membership in the AHA.

Another plum job: Tufts

Here’s another new job ad, this one for the Prince of Asturias chair in Spanish Culture and Civilization at Tufts University. Essentially, the job is for “post-Colombian Spanish History,” especially for Spanish relations with America and/or the rest of the world, for a rank of associate or full professor.

Johns Hopkins job ad

I came across this job ad in the AHA’s website: “The Department of History of the Johns Hopkins University seeks to make a tenured appointment at the associate or full professor level in the field of medieval/early modern history, with a particular focus on Jewish history or Jewish-Muslim-Christian relations. Historians specializing in the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds are particularly encouraged to apply. Send a letter of interest, a c.v., and three letters of recommendation no later than January 1, 2009, to Prof. Richard Kagan … Candidates of sufficient distinction may be considered for the Charlotte Bloomberg Chair in the Humanities.”

Hmm…
