Applicants should send a cover letter summarizing their teaching and research experience, and research goals for the next three to five years.

Application dossiers should also include a full cv, names and contact information for four references, a writing sample (e.g. published or submitted article), one-page research statement, one-page teaching practice statement, teaching evaluations (in any official format), and syllabi for two courses in sociocultural anthropology (one basic, one more advanced). Application dossiers should be submitted online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/12581. PhD must be in hand by September 27, 2019 or, if ABD, letter confirming defense date by January 15, 2020.
