F0032- Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies

Job Duties

The Department of History & Interdisciplinary Studies at Norfolk State University seeks applications for a tenure-track assistant professor of Interdisciplinary Studies beginning August 2024. The Department offers five curricula in History, four curricula in Interdisciplinary Studies, three minors (Interdisciplinary Studies, History, and Africana Studies), a certificate in African and African Diaspora Studies, and fully online programs in both History and Interdisciplinary Studies.

For many students, Interdisciplinary Studies is a "discovery major" which they turn to after recognizing it is a more direct path to addressing their life and career objectives that do not neatly fit into one content area, Each interdisciplinary studies major has a minimum of two content concentration areas in addition to their coursework in theory, process, and practice in interdisciplinary studies. Most interdisciplinary studies majors in our department have at least one content concentration area in a field outside of the social sciences.

The successful candidate will :

• Instruct and mentor our diverse community of Interdisciplinary Studies majors.
• Teach undergraduate courses in Interdisciplinary Studies with specialization(s) outside of the social sciences.
• Develop and teach courses on regionally relevant topics that are addressable through interdisciplinary approaches involving the sciences, business, and / or education.
• Engage in both face-to-face and online instruction and have an interdisciplinary research / scholarship agenda.
• Assist with university service at the department, college, and university levels.
