Soviet Union. We are looking for candidates who can expand the Department’s history offerings beyond its current strengths in East Asian history and twentieth-century U.S. history.
We especially welcome candidates who could teach courses and
lead initiatives in our Public History concentration for the
History major; in other opportunities associated with the
Department of the Global Humanities (e.g. with the Global Cultural
Studies, Language, and/or Philosophy programs); and in the College
of Arts and Sciences (e.g. Environmental Studies, Economics,
Political Science/Legal Studies, Black Studies, Economics, and/or
Women’s and Gender Studies). Public history opportunities could
include planning and leading Travel Seminars and Study Abroad/Away
experiences and contributing to the already-established Bialystok
Cemetery Restoration project. We are particularly interested in
candidates who bring relevant experience and expertise that could
prepare them to cultivate a possible partnership with the new
Holocaust Museum & Education Center (set to open in Boston in
2027) and/or to plan new public history, experiential learning, and
service learning initiatives in the greater Boston area and beyond
to create meaningful experiences and professional development
opportunities for our students.
Candidates should provide evidence of commitment to excellent
teaching and scholarly potential, including a research agenda and
plans for peer-reviewed publication. Candidates should be broadly
trained to teach courses across the Department curriculum in
research methods, professional skill building, and at the
introductory, upper, and capstone levels including courses
supporting the University’s first year and general education
program. The successful candidate will teach courses that support
the History major and minor, including the Global History
concentration and the Public History concentration, as well as the
Global Cultural Studies major and minor. The candidate should be
ready to contribute to a multidisciplinary department alongside
students and faculty colleagues in History as well as in Languages,
Global Cultural Studies, and Philosophy. In addition to
demonstrating excellence in teaching and research, the successful
candidate is expected to advise and mentor undergraduates from a
variety of disciplines and fields of interest within the
Department, and engage in service with the Department, College and
University. The workload for this position is 45% teaching, 35%
research, and 20% service with a 5-course teaching load per
year.
Candidates must hold a PhD in History or a relevant field (e.g.
Environmental Studies; Black Studies; Global Studies; Latin
American Studies; Studies of Women, Gender, & Sexuality; or
another relevant field) by the beginning of the 2027-2028 academic
year. ABD candidates in the final stages of completing their
degrees will be considered. Experience teaching undergraduate
students preferred. Application should be made through the Suffolk
University Human Resources’ Careers at Suffolk website.
A complete submission will include: cover letter; CV; Teaching
Philosophy; Diversity Statement; a statement of research interests
and agenda; student course evaluations (if available); a sample
