Description

The Department of History at Brown University invites applicants for a full-time, tenure-track position, at the Assistant Professor level, in the History of Early Modern East Asia (c. 1400- 1850.) While the successful candidate will have defended the Ph.D. dissertation by the time of appointment, we are seeking early-career candidates who will develop their first major monograph supported by the History Department’s robust mentorship program, including a manuscript workshop that generally takes place in the third or fourth year in the position. The History Department places a high priority on research excellence and high-quality teaching. Candidates’ materials should address how they would contribute to the research and teaching missions of our diverse and inclusive university community.

Please send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, an article or chapter length writing sample, and the contact information (name, phone and email) of three references via https://apply.interfolio.com/190380. Review of applications will begin September 14, 2026. To assure full consideration applicants should submit their materials by that date.
