at HERC - Metro New York & Southern Connecticut
The Yale University Department of French intends to appoint a tenure-track assistant professor in Early Modern French Theater and Performance (1500-1800) to begin on July 1, 2025. Applicants will be affiliated with the Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) Program, although the position would be fully in the French Department.

Feminist, queer, and decolonial approaches are welcome. Fields of research may also include the history of performance criticism, the material conditions of performance and its impact on the spectators body and mind, or methodological questions. All applicants should submit a letter of application, C.V., a research statement, a teaching statement, three confidential letters of reference, and a chapter-length writing sample prepared for anonymous reading via http://apply.interfolio.com/153121 ). To ensure full consideration, please submit all materials by November 15, 2024.
