Job description

The Center for Economics, Politics & History (https://www.uaustin.org/ceph) at the University of Austin invites applications and nominations for a full-time professor of history (any rank) faculty position to begin as early as Summer 2026. Applicants should have a strong interest in teaching undergraduate history as well as research. As a new university entering our third year of full-time operations, we seek to hire faculty at all levels with particular needs for a scholar who can teach a sequence in American history. The ideal candidate will be able to teach political, economic, and military history, with an applied focus and deep expertise in the United States. Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, or degree conferred by the start date.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2025.
Responsibilities
  • Teach a full load of six quarter-length courses per year (typically two per term), contributing to the development of undergraduate syllabi for core courses and bringing creativity and breadth of knowledge to classroom design.
  • Participate actively in faculty meetings, guest lectures, and campus events, helping to sustain and enrich the intellectual life of the university.
  • Mentor students with an interest in economics and the social sciences, guiding their academic development and future plans.
  • Advance UATX’s mission of civil discourse by fostering an environment of open inquiry in both teaching and research, modeling academic freedom and respectful debate.
Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in History (or some closely related field), with a special interest in applied or American history.
  • Demonstrated teaching excellence.
  • Strong commitment to UATX’s mission of free inquiry, open debate, and intellectual diversity.
  • U.S. citizenship or approved visa to work full time in the United States.
Appointment & Support
  • This is a full-time faculty position, open rank (assistant, associate, or full professor), with a start date as early as Summer 2026. The role includes a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits. While UATX does not offer tenure, this line carries the same expectation of long-term stability and permanence.
Applicants should submit:
  • Cover letter describing interest in the position and alignment with UATX’s mission
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Contact information for three professional references
  • Writing sample or published research
  • Optional: teaching portfolio, evidence of teaching excellence, or other materials relevant to classroom experience
The University of Austin
Founded in 2022, the University of Austin (UATX) is dedicated to reviving fearless inquiry and open discourse in higher education. UATX offers a B.A. in Liberal Studies, welcoming its first freshman class in Fall 2024. The university currently employs nearly 30 full-time professors and is expanding rapidly.

The Center for Economics, Politics, and History (CEPH)
The Center of Economics, Politics, and History (CEPH) offers an undergraduate concentration in the social sciences with a focus on empirical analysis of human events. The Center aims to be a leading program for Civics and the role of individuals in shaping public policy. CEPH scholars seek to understand the enlightenment values of Western civilization that culminated in the U.S. Constitution as well as the economic growth and technological progress that are the foundation of American power. Central features of our curriculum design are interdisciplinary perspectives, empiricism, a focus on U.S. institutions, and more modern events of the past century.

EEO / AA Statement of Non-Discrimination
UATX does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factor.
