Description:

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago invites
applications for an open rank position in linguistic anthropology, to begin as
early as July 1, 2022.

We welcome applications from linguistic anthropologists whose empirical,
field-based research is grounded in social theory and speaks to questions of
broad anthropological significance. We are interested in candidates whose
scholarship expands linguistic and semiotic approaches to language and
communicative practice, with particular interest in linguistic anthropologists
whose research intersects with the study of indigeneity, gender and sexuality,
or critical informatics and new media. We seek a candidate eager to
participate in the Department’s and University’s academic community. The
successful candidate will teach in their area of research, contribute to the
linguistic anthropology curriculum, and help strengthen ties between the
subfield and other disciplines.

Application Instructions:  
Applicants are expected to have the PhD in hand by the start of appointment.
Applications should include: 
 - a current curriculum vitae, including the names and contact information of
at least three referees; 
 - a cover letter that describes your research and teaching profile, as well
as your professional plan for the next 3–5 year period; 
 - a research statement addressing current research and future plans for
research; (4) a teaching statement addressing teaching experience and
philosophy; 
 - a sample of scholarly writing. 
Those applying for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor
should include one writing sample, such as a dissertation chapter, journal
article, or book chapter. Applicants for a tenured position at the rank of
Associate or Full Professor should include two writing samples, such as
journal articles or book chapters.

Applicants should apply online at the University of Chicago Academic Career
Opportunities website at the link provided below. 

Review of applicants will begin by November 1, 2021; applications will be
reviewed until the position is filled or the search has closed.

Equal Employment Opportunity Statement:
We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community
that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse
perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and
stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University’s
Statements on Diversity are at
