[Laura M. Ahearn]

Dear All,

In August, I will be "on loan" from Rutgers to the National Science 
Foundation to take on a temporary (one- to four-year) Rotator position 
as a Program Officer alongside Deborah Winslow in the Cultural 
Anthropology program.  The deans here have approved a one-year position 
to fill in for me in 2011 - 2012, so we would like to find someone as 
soon as possible.  Please see the job announcement pasted in below and 
circulate widely.  (Apologies for cross-listing!)

Thanks!

Laura

*One-Year Position in Language, Culture, and Power at Rutgers University*

The Department of Anthropology at Rutgers, the State University of New 
Jersey, invites applications for a one-year position in linguistic 
anthropology in 2011 -- 2012, contingent on funding. The position 
involves teaching a large Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology 
undergraduate course each semester, two additional courses in linguistic 
or cultural anthropology, and possibly the required graduate core 
course, Language as Social Action.  The ideal candidate will strengthen 
the Department's Critical Interventions in Theory and Ethnography (CITE) 
Program, which places special emphasis on the study of culture, 
inequality, justice, and rights in a world transformed by global processes.

Candidates holding the Ph.D. are preferred, but in exceptional cases, 
ABDs will be considered. Candidates should demonstrate excellence in 
teaching, creative scholarship, and ongoing field research. Application 
materials should include a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and 
teaching interests, including syllabi or descriptions for Introduction 
to Linguistic Anthropology and Language as Social Action, evidence of 
excellence in teaching, and the names and contact information of three 
references. Send materials electronically to Laura Ahearn at 
ahearn at rutgers.edu, and place "Language, Culture, and Power" in the 
subject heading. Review of applications will begin immediately and will 
continue until the position is filled.

As one of 34 public US institutions that belong to the Association of 
American Universities, Rutgers is among the leading research 
universities in the US and Canada. Rutgers University is an equal 
opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, with a historic commitment to 
diversity.
