anthropology* to begin fall 2023, pending budgetary approval. We seek a

responsibilities will include two courses in the fall term and two courses
in the spring term, at undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates also
will advise and mentor graduate students, contribute to departmental and
wider university administration, and participate in the intellectual life
of the department.

discusses the candidate’s research expertise and teaching experience and
pedagogical approaches. The application must also include a diversity
