Cluster Positions

Four tenure-track assistant professorships were made available for the cluster on “The Mediterranean Perspective on Global History and Culture.” The cluster brings together scholars from the arts, humanities, and social sciences who focus on the Mediterranean as a dynamic arena of cultural, religious, social, and political exchange. Positions in History of Art and the Frankel Center were filled in 2011-12. Searches in Romance Languages and Literatures (RLL) and the Taubman College of Architecture will be conducted in 2012-13.
