Charlotte invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor
of Applied Medical Anthropology with a specialization in cultural
aspects of urban health disparities, with a start date of August 12,
2019. <p>Requirements for this position are a Ph.D. in Anthropology or a
related field, in hand by the time of appointment; a record of scholarly
publications and an active research agenda; a focus on health,
wellness, and/or nutrition in urban areas; and experience teaching at
the college level in a diverse environment. Desired qualifications
include experience collaborating with scholars in other disciplines
and/or community partners; success in securing external funding; the
ability to complement the department’s current strengths; a focus on the
intersection of health, wellness, and nutrition among ethnic minority
populations; and the ability to support the new joint M.A./M.P.H.
program. There is an expectation that the successful candidate will
develop a local community-engaged research project in Charlotte, NC,
that will provide research opportunities for our undergraduate and
graduate student researchers. Ideally, the candidate will also serve as a
role model for <span class="m_-3735045710789225886gmail-caps">UNC</span> Charlotte’s diverse student population. The Department of Anthropology at <span class="m_-3735045710789225886gmail-caps">UNC</span>
Charlotte emphasizes four-field training for its students and offers
B.A. and M.A. degrees in Anthropology with optional concentrations in
Applied Anthropology at both levels. The teaching load for new faculty
is two courses per semester.</p>
<p>This position is part of a cluster hire in Anthropology, Geography,
Psychology, and Sociology as the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
is strengthening its already robust social science expertise in health
research. Our Social Aspects of Health Initiative (<span class="m_-3735045710789225886gmail-caps">SAHI</span>)
is designed explicitly to identify and address health inequities in
urban regions by encouraging collaboration among scholars to identify
social, institutional and environmental contexts, as well as policies
and practices that contribute to equitable health care provision, health
outcomes, and quality of life. To learn more, visit our website at
