UNC's Department of American Studies has explored the developing cultural entity we call 'America' for more than fifty years. We are committed to interdisciplinary study on the grounds that to begin to understand America we need to consider its history, its politics and institutions, and the many and varied cultural products in which Americans express their identities, values, and concerns. We consider the study of folklore and vernacular culture to be an essential component of this interdisciplinary approach. We welcome applications from scholars whose work aligns with the departmental mission of American Studies, as outlined on our website.

We seek a scholar to teach AMST 511 American Indians and American Law in the Spring semester 2025. In AMST 511, students explore the history of Native interaction with the American legal system in order to understand how the law affects Native peoples and others today.

Candidates must have a JD and/or a PhD in American Indian Studies, History, or a related discipline. Teaching this course will involve developing the syllabus and reading assignments as well as planning and evaluating the research and writing assignments and examinations.
