About the role

The University of Alabama invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in American Studies starting Fall 2027. The position is housed in the Department of American Culture & Society, Tuscaloosa, with responsibilities across teaching, research, and service. Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field and demonstrate potential for an active research agenda and effective teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
