Qualifications
We seek someone with a strong commitment to academic and research excellence to help develop a Joint Doctoral Program (JDP) with a Research 1 university partner in public facing/engaged anthropology. Candidates must have a proven record of excellent publication and external funding support. Subfield and geographic region of focus are open, but we seek a colleague who can articulate with departmental strengths in health, migration, the environment, technology and society, heritage and memory, and/or social justice. We seek a scholar who brings creative/innovative methodologies, pursues engaged research programs, and is attentive to institutional and political asymmetries of power. The successful candidate will possess an outstanding record of research, teaching, and leadership along with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ideally, the candidate will come with doctorate-level advising and leadership experience and a willingness to play a central role in development of the JDP. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in anthropology. As the JDP is developed, the successful candidate will teach low-to-mid-level subfield-specific courses for the curriculum, undergraduate and graduate courses in the candidate’s research specialties, and advise undergraduate and master’s level students. Applicants should have demonstrated experience in and/or commitment to teaching and working effectively with students from diverse backgrounds and members of underrepresented groups.

The department’s faculty members are dedicated teacher-scholars; they are active researchers and engaged instructors who regularly unite these tasks by involving students in their projects through firsthand field, lab, and internship opportunities and bringing their original research into student-centered learning environments.
