The Department of History at the State University of New York at Oneonta invites applications for a tenure track position as an Assistant Professor of U.S. Women's History (specialization open) beginning Fall 2024.
The Department of History at SUNY Oneonta is one of the university's most intellectually and pedagogically engaged departments.

In addition to its diverse curriculum, the department has a successful internship program and participates in professional partnerships to help launch students into fulfilling careers in the historical community and further afield. If desired, faculty have opportunities to collaborate with students in a variety of experiences such as independent studies, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, establishing internships, editing our new online history journal, and in a yearly conference sponsored by our history club. Faculty also have the opportunity to engage in faculty-led study abroad programs around the world with our students. Service opportunities within the department and university are diverse and allow the faculty to serve in areas of interest and expertise.
The Department recognizes that impactful teaching stems from supported research and there are funding opportunities from our union, yearly development funds from our college, and the department manages a trust that supports faculty research. Funding is also available from the SUNY Foundation for research conducted with students.
