job advert-teaching fellow

[Alexander King]

Dear Colleagues,

The anthropology department at Aberdeen is looking for a 3-year  
teaching fellow. We don't actually want to replace Tim Ingold so much  
as hire someone who fits with what we do (see our departmental  
description). The teaching load is actually very light compared to a  
similar post in North America. We are very interested in someone  
excited about teaching undergraduates, but who also has an active  
research programme. I would welcome a fellow linguistic  
anthropologist, but you will need to be a generalist in your  
teaching--mostly social anthropology, although you may have the  
chance to develop a new 4th-year course.
