The successful candidate will be expected to 1) maintain an active research agenda, 2) apply for external research funding, 3) teach four courses per academic year at the undergraduate and graduate level in Early Modern European History and other areas of expertise or interest to the department, and 4) provide service to the department, the university, and the profession.
