Candidates with an interdisciplinary orientation towards one or more areas that bridge the humanities and social sciences (such as cultural studies or gender studies) are particularly welcome to apply. They envision a colleague concerned not only with American history, society, politics and culture but also with the processes whereby societies and cultures interact and influence each other.
