European/African History Job Posting

Paul Harvey

Excuse my hijacking my own blog just for the day to post a job opening in History at my institution, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. I'm hoping this will catch some eyeballs of people in the relevant fields (European and/or African History, ca. 800-1700), who can forward it along to appropriate blogs, listservs, jobsites, etc. The job will be posted in Perspectives and H-Net Job Guide soon, but hasn't been yet. Applications must be submitted electronically here, refer to job opening 808542. Or just go to http://www.jobsatcu.com, and refer to that job opening. Please forward to people you know that may be interested, or who have finishing/recent Ph.D. students working in these fields. We're trying to get the word out as quickly as possible. A representative from the department will be at the AHA to talk informally with prospective candidates.
