*History and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).* The Department of
History at Idaho State University invites applications for a new tenure
track, assistant professorship from scholars who have extensive
experience and training in the use of GIS and other tools of spatial
analysis in the study of history. The successful candidate will be one
of the leaders in the development of ISU’s new GIS-based M.A. program in
Historical Resources Management and a new undergraduate curriculum with
a spatial emphasis. This person will teach core courses in the graduate
curriculum, train graduate students in the use of GIS in historical
studies, and develop graduate and undergraduate courses in his or her
area of specialization. The field of specialization is open, though
candidates should not duplicate the teaching and research priorities of
the current faculty. A Ph.D. in history, historical geography, or
related interdisciplinary degree is required by the time of hire in
August 2007. Teaching experience and an interest in developing funded
research are highly desirable. Idaho State University is a comprehensive
teaching and research institution located in Pocatello, a community of
approximately 60,000 nestled in a scenic mountain valley in southeastern
Idaho. ISU is an AA/EOE and encourages applications from a diverse set
of candidates. Apply with a letter of introduction, c.v., and three
letters of recommendation to: Dr. Allan Christelow, Chair; Department of
History; Idaho State University; 921 S. 8^th Ave., Stop 8079; Pocatello,
ID 83209-8079

Review of applications will begin December 8, 2006. For full
consideration, please apply by this date; the search will continue until
the position is filled.

****
I want to stress that at this time, we do not have a specialist in the
history of cartography, any area of Asian history nor in either Modern
Britain or Modern Europe. For an indication of other possible areas of
specialization, which do not duplicate those of current department
members, I direct attention to a web page I created for interested
students. Go to the section "What is needed to start the program?" at
the URL:

Those who wish to read something about the program may find useful an
article published in *ArcNews* last fall, at the URL:

My colleague Laura Woodworth-Ney and I have also published an article
about the process of creating this graduate program, available at the URL:

Thank you for your attention and for any help in making this
announcement available to worthy candidates.
