The article discusses the challenges faced by the U.S. academic job market in history that are likely to continue in 2016 as evidence from the American Historical Association (AHA) Directory of History Departments, Historical Organizations and Historians indicates. Among the signs to such outlook are the declining number of positions advertised with the AHA, the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty lines and the small share of full-time faculty who will retire in the next decade.
