Ling / sociocult anth of Middle East/N Africa position at Northwestern

[K.E. Hoffman]

Prospective candidates should feel free to write me (Katherine Hoffman, 
khoffman at northwestern.edu) with any questions.  We are defining the region 
and the search broadly and are hoping to hear from linguistic anthropologists.

========
The Department of Anthropology at Northwestern University invites 
applications for a full-time tenure line faculty position in the linguistic 
or sociocultural anthropology of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), 
rank open. We seek applicants as part of a university-wide initiative to 
develop MENA studies at Northwestern, which includes new faculty lines in 
history and political science as well as anthropology. Applicants must be 
engaged in ongoing ethnographic research in the region, and demonstrate 
teaching experience. Candidates will be expected to teach at both the 
graduate and undergraduate levels. Topics of research are open, but we are 
particularly interested in applicants who complement the interests of 
existing faculty in anthropology and also bridge to other units on campus.

Please send letter of application, vita, statement of research and teaching 
philosophy, and the names and addresses of three references to Dr. Robert 
Launay, Department of Anthropology, Northwestern University, 1810 Hinman 
Ave., Evanston IL 60208. We will begin reviewing applications on October 15 
and will continue until a suitable candidate is found.

Northwestern University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity 
Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
