appointment will be open rank within the Department of History; the Karant-Nunn Chair itself is

the Reformation and Counter-Reformation period, with a research specialty that is pursued from
a social and cultural perspective. Potential specializations include, but are not limited to,
minority faiths, applications of gender concepts within religious groups, or patterns of interaction

presently Professor Ute Lotz-Heumann. Undergraduate teaching fields will encompass the entire
late-medieval and early-modern European world, including the Renaissance. A doctoral degree
is required at the time of application.
