The Department of History at Washington State University seeks to hire a two-year-long teaching postdoc to teach the university’s core undergraduate course, “The Roots of Contemporary Issues” beginning August 2018, pending budgetary approval. “The Roots of Contemporary Issues” is a history course that helps students make sense of our complex world by focusing on the deep historical roots of present-day issues in global perspective. Areas of specialty are open, but successful candidates must have a Ph.D. at time of appointment, graduate training that demonstrates their ability to understand historical problems in transnational, comparative, or global perspective; demonstrated ability to engage students in discussions on issues relating to the history of the environment, globalization, social inequalities, diverse ways of thinking, and world conflicts. Teaching experience preferred. Roots of Contemporary Issues postdocs are hired to teach a 4/4 load with one preparation. WSU is an EO/AA Educator and Employer.
