Assistant Professor - Anthropology

Issue date: Thursday, October 23, 2008

Term: Fall 2009

Reports to: Department Chair

Description: The Anthropology Program at Wheaton College invites applications for a one-year position for either a socio-cultural anthropologist or an archeologist at the Assistant Professor level. Socio-cultural candidates should preferably specialize in either Africa or the Pacific, but not Latin America or South Asia. Other area specialities will be considered. The socio-cultural candidate's topical interests should ideally complement those of our tenured and tenure-track faculty, and preferably include medical anthropology, human rights, or transnational migration, but other interests will be considered. The capacity to teach our introductory courses in both cultuiral anthropology and human evolution is also desirable. Alternatively, we seek an archeologist who works in Native North America, but will consider those working elsewhere.

Requirements: Candidates in archeology must be able to teach Human Evolution, and topical specialization is open. Candidates are expected to have completed their Ph.D. by July 1, 2009, the beginning date of their appointment, and to have had experience teaching courses of their own design.

To apply: Please send a letter describing your interests and qualifications (particularly teaching experience), along with a vitae, phone and e-mail contact information, and the names of three references and their contact information, including e-mail addresses, to: Bruce Owens, Chair, Anthropology Department, Wheaton College, Norton, MA, 02766. We encourage applicants to send materials via e-mail attachments to bowens@wheatoncollege.edu, as we will be interviewing at the AAA meetings in San Francisco. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, but must be received by the deadline.

Wheaton College is a four-year undergraduate liberal arts college located between Providence and Boston that seeks educational excellence through diversity and strongly encourages applications from women and men from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the academy. AA/EOE

Deadline: December 5, 2008.
