Position Description

The Department of Art at California State University, Fullerton, invites applications for a tenure‐track Assistant Professor position in Art History with an appointment to begin Fall Semester 2026.

California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) is an equal opportunity employer and a minority-serving institution, with a Hispanic-Serving Institution designation. CSUF earned the prestigious Seal of Excelencia in 2021 and 2024, joining a distinguished group of colleges and universities recognized for their commitment to the success of Latine/x students. CSUF has a diverse student population of over 43,000 students, including international students from 73 nations. CSUF is firmly committed to student success by equipping students to achieve academic excellence, career success, and economic mobility. Candidates who can contribute to this goal through their teaching, research, advising, and other activities are encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences. We are seeking to recruit and retain faculty who can teach and mentor our students to achieve their academic and career goals while advancing the University’s strategic plan objectives. CSUF strives to retain all faculty by providing resources to build meaningful connections and community within and across disciplines. The campus community is designed to foster an inclusive environment that enables students, staff, administrators, and faculty to thrive.

Position This is a tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Modern and Contemporary Art History with a global perspective. CSUF is committed to scholars who bring both the breadth and depth of their specializations to the classroom, as well as to individually mentored projects, such as Independent Studies and MA theses. Teaching is focused primarily on undergraduate learning, with some combined classes that include graduate students.

The candidate will teach large lecture classes in Modern Art and Contemporary Art, both with a global perspective. Smaller, upper-division classes on a focused area of inquiry may also be offered, and course development in the area of specialization is likewise expected. CSUF faculty are responsible for sustained, active, scholarly work commensurate with the requirements for tenure. Art History faculty teach a 4/4 course load, advise Art History majors and MA students, supervise MA Theses, and serve on committees within the department, college, and university.
