The latest opportunity comes from the University of Waterloo (in Ontario, Canada, about an hour-and-a-half west of Toronto), with a call for applications as follows:
The Department of History in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo is seeking to appoint a tenure-track assistant professor with an established research record in modern (post-1800) global/transnational history.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Waterloo respects, appreciates, and encourages diversity.
