The posting

The University of Austin (UATX) educates citizens and leaders capable of assuring national prosperity and the success of constitutional liberty. We seek talented, energetic, and productive individuals to help us develop America’s newest university into an inspiring model of best practices in student formation. Ideal candidates will be passionate about teaching, eager to innovate, and committed to reforming higher education.

The Center for Arts at UATX invites applications for full- or part-time faculty positions in American history, thought, and culture, open to candidates at any academic rank, to contribute to its growing Program in American Civilization.

We seek historians and cultural critics who can guide students toward a comprehensive understanding of America across its intellectual, political, economic, religious, literary, and artistic dimensions. Successful candidates will be first-rate teachers and accomplished scholars who approach America’s past with seriousness, independence of mind, and a willingness to engage timely and timeless questions about American national character.

We welcome applications from historians and cultural critics specializing in any period of American history, including colonial America, the Founding, the early republic, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Gilded Age, and the twentieth century. We are particularly interested in faculty members who can tell the American story with moral seriousness and narrative power. The strongest candidates will share the Program’s commitment to seeing American civilization as a coherent whole rather than a collection of disconnected fragments.

American Civilization @ UATX

The Program in American Civilization at the University of Austin (UATX) studies America as a distinct civilization and seeks to form citizens capable of sustaining it. The Program begins from the conviction that America is more than a political system or an institutional blueprint: it is a civilization constituted by ideals, sustained by institutions, and animated by a distinct culture.

For this reason, the Program approaches the study of America through three mutually reinforcing dimensions. Ideals encompass the principles at the heart of the American experiment, including liberty, equality, natural rights, freedom of religion, and government by consent. Institutions are the means by which abstract ideals acquire concrete social and political form, encompassing not only the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, but also families, churches, schools, and voluntary associations. Culture consists of the stories by which Americans develop an attachment to their national inheritance, as expressed in sermons, novels, poems, paintings, rhetoric, customs, music, films, and other traditions.

These dimensions are intentionally studied together. Students encounter history, politics, philosophy, religion, literature, and art not as isolated disciplines but as facets of a single national identity.

The Program contributes three courses to UATX's core curriculum: The American Founding, American Frontiers, and The American Century. Together, these courses introduce all undergraduates to the American experience, from the colonial period and Founding through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Students wishing to pursue a deeper study of America may continue into the Concentration in American Civilization, which offers interdisciplinary courses and advanced seminars in American history, politics, philosophy, religion, literature, and the arts.

The Center for Arts @ UATX

The Center for Arts at the University of Austin helps young people entering the university develop the intellectual skills and historical awareness necessary to make informed, lasting, and important contributions to human flourishing. Students participate in debates about ideas, analyze and create works of art, and investigate the causes and effects of historical events.

As part of the larger University, the Center aims to foster deep thinking, clear communication, and virtuous character. Students ask abiding questions about human nature and explore possible answers with seriousness of purpose and generosity of spirit.

All students at the University of Austin complete a core curriculum, Intellectual Foundations, that includes ten courses on Western civilization and three courses on American civilization, as well as courses on mathematics, science, and economics.

For students interested in the humanities, the Center for Arts offers four optional Concentrations: Philosophy, History, Literature, and American Civilization. Combined with Intellectual Foundations, these Concentrations comprise a scaffolded curriculum where students advance historically from antiquity to the present and within a discipline from more basic to more challenging texts, ideas, and debates.

Appointment

Faculty will be appointed at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or full Professor, with an anticipated start date of Fall 2027. Part-time appointments will be considered; applicants interested in a part-time appointment should indicate this preference in their cover letter.

Compensation is competitive, commensurate with rank, and includes comprehensive benefits and a research stipend. Salaries for full-time Assistant Professors in Arts start at $90,000.

UATX operates on a quarter schedule, with an annual teaching load of 18 quarter hours, equivalent to a 12 semester hour or 2/2 teaching load in a semester system. This structure supports excellence in undergraduate teaching while allowing faculty to maintain substantive research agendas.

UATX is committed to building a permanent faculty. Although the University does not operate under a traditional tenure system, these positions are designed as long-term academic appointments, supported by renewable five-year contracts. This model reflects UATX's commitment to institutional stability as well as high standards, building an enduring community of engaged teachers and active scholars.
