Full Job Description

Maine College of Art & Design (MECA&D) seeks a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History. The faculty member will teach a combination of Art History Survey I & II, Critical Approaches to Contemporary Art, and Art History electives during the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year.

This art history foundational sequence is a chronological survey of art history from the prehistoric period up to and including contemporary trends in art history and criticism. The three courses (AH101, AH102, and AH250) introduce students to important movements in the history of art and prepare them for a deeper understanding of their chosen major. Students are also introduced to art historical vocabulary and practice visual analysis through both writing assignments and oral presentations. Attention is paid to both traditional Western notions of art history and to decolonizing and expanding the survey to include non-traditional historical influences and movements.

Minimum Requirements

An MA in Art History and experience teaching art history at the college level are minimally required; a PhD in Art History and experience teaching art history in an art college environment are preferred.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation ranges from $55,000 to $59,000, based on experience and rank. Faculty’s full-time engagement with the College typically ranges from mid-August to mid-May. A comprehensive benefits package is offered, including health, dental, and retirement benefits.

Application Procedure

If you’re excited about contributing to Maine College of Art & Design's academic community and engaging students in the study of art history, we’d love to hear from you! Please submit your application detailing your experience and passion for the arts to [email protected].

Please include:

A cover letter that describes how your experience, accomplishments, and qualifications intersect with the listed position description;
A resumé/curriculum vitae;
A list of three references with contact information, one of which should be a prior supervisor.

Recognizing that no candidate will possess all the relevant skills and experience, we encourage you to apply if you align with many of the qualifications and interests for this role. While there is no deadline for submitting your application, the application period will close when the position is filled.

Essential Functions and Work Environment

The essential functions of this position include preparing and delivering in-person instruction in Art History; facilitating classroom discussions, critiques, presentations, and other learning activities; developing and evaluating assignments and student work; providing timely feedback and academic support to students; maintaining appropriate course records; communicating effectively with students, faculty, and staff; using standard classroom, presentation, and learning-management technologies; and participating in meetings, academic activities, and other responsibilities associated with faculty service and the educational mission of the College.

This position is primarily performed in classroom, office, and academic environments and requires regular interaction and communication with students, faculty, and staff. The role may involve extended periods of sitting or standing; moving throughout classrooms and campus facilities; viewing and presenting visual materials; operating computers and audiovisual equipment; and occasionally moving or positioning materials weighing up to 25 pounds. The position requires the ability to communicate and exchange information effectively in instructional and professional settings. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.

Equal Opportunity Statement

Maine College of Art & Design is committed to fostering a welcoming and respectful environment where all individuals have the opportunity to succeed based on their talents, qualifications, and achievements. We uphold the principles of fairness, merit, and equal opportunity in our academic and professional community.
