The Department of History and Geography in the Elon College of Arts & Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track position in Environmental History, to begin mid-August 2025. The position is open in terms of geographic scope, time period, and thematic expertise; however, we are particularly interested in applicants whose work has a transnational or global dimension, who demonstrate innovative methodologies of historical research (digital and spatial humanities), and who think in an integrated way about environmental history and its place across disciplinary boundaries. The successful applicant will hold a PhD by the time of appointment. 

This position requires teaching introductory and upper-level courses in the area of the applicant’s expertise that align with the History curriculum and courses in the Elon Core Curriculum. We especially welcome candidates who can contribute courses to the department’s Museum Studies and Public History or Geographic Information Systems (GIS) minors. We expect that course offerings will also contribute in meaningful ways to Elon’s interdisciplinary programs, such as Environmental Studies and International and Global Studies. Additional responsibilities include student mentorship through advising and undergraduate research, and contributions to the life of the department, university, and discipline or profession.
