Eastman Professors at the University of Oxford

The Eastman Professorship was established in 1929 by George Eastman, founder of the Eastman Kodak Company. Eastman created a chair at Oxford University to be filled on a visiting basis by senior American Scholars of the highest distinction.  Each appointment is made for one year. The fund which supports the Eastman Professorship is administered by the Board of Directors of the AARS through the American Trust For Oxford University. Electors to the Eastman Chair are the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, four persons appointed by the Council of Oxford University, two persons appointed by the Board of Directors of the AARS, and two persons from Balliol College (to which the visiting professorship is associated).

Applications for the Eastman Professorship are usually invited on an annual basis around June. Any inquiries should be addressed to:

The Secretary, Board of Electors to the George Eastman Visiting Professorship
University Offices
Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD, U.K.
or by e-mail to professorships@admin.ox.ac.uk

Candidates will be asked to seek nomination by another individual through one of the constituent units of the relevant Oxford division, and to supply a cv/list of publications and the names of three referees.  http://chronicle.com/jobs/0000637585-01
