South Asian History. Carleton College announces a tenure-track assistant professorship in South Asian history beginning September 1, 2011.

The successful candidate will have an active research agenda and be committed to teaching a diverse student body in a liberal arts environment. The position entails contributions to the interdisciplinary Asian Studies program. PhD or its imminent completion is required, and teaching experience is desirable.
