The Department seeks applications from candidates maintaining an active research agenda in the study of the art and architecture of East Asia and/or Southeast Asia, broadly defined. The position is open in terms of chronological or geographical specialization, in recognition of the several ways a specialist in East Asian and/or Southeast Asian art and architecture might fortify, decenter, or expand our existing clusters of departmental inquiry. A successful candidate may be trained in relevant languages for research and mentoring as well as be engaged in the study of painting, sculpture, manuscript traditions, artifacts, architecture and built space, archaeological sites, heritage and display economies, or other visual, material, and cultural practices. Applicants whose research and teaching reflect changes taking place in the field by means of critical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary approaches and/or interregional/globally-framed inquiry are especially encouraged to apply.
