COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES, OBERLIN COLLEGE
POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
FACULTY NON CONTINUING POSITION AVAILABLE

Assistant Professor of Anthropology

The Anthropology Department at Oberlin College invites applications for 
a half-time non-continuing faculty position in the College of Arts and 
Sciences. Appointment to this position will be for a term of either one 
semester full time or two semesters part-time, beginning in the fall of 
academic year 2006-2007, and will carry the rank of Visiting Assistant 
Professor or Visiting Instructor of Anthropology.
 
The incumbent will teach courses in the general area of _linguistic 
anthropology_.  The teaching obligation is three courses including 
introductory cultural anthropology and two upper level courses.  For the 
latter, we are especially interested in a candidate who is trained in 
the ethnography of speaking and/or discourse analysis, who can teach 
"Language in culture and society" and a seminar in any area related to 
linguistic anthropology, including but not limited to the study of 
language ideologies, language and power, gender and language, and verbal 
art performance.

Oberlin College values excellence in teaching and candidates must 
therefore have an outstanding record of teaching at the introductory and 
advanced levels.  While the appointee will be a linguistic 
anthropologist, we expect that his or her teaching will complement the 
four-field character of the department.

Among the qualifications required for appointment is the Ph.D. degree in 
hand expected by June, 2006.  

To be assured of consideration, a letter of application, a Curriculum 
vita, graduate academic transcripts, and the names of three referees, 
should be sent to Linda Grimm, Acting Chair, Department of Anthropology, 
10 N. Professor St., Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH 44074,  by March 15th, 
2006. Application materials received after that date may be considered 
until the position is filled.  Salary will depend on qualifications and 
experience.

Oberlin College is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer with 
a strong institutional commitment to the development of a climate that 
supports equality of opportunity and respect of differences based on 
gender, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation.  Oberlin was the 
first coeducational institution to grant bachelor's degrees to women and 
historically has been a leader in the education of African-Americans; 
the college was also among the first to prohibit discrimination based on 
sexual orientation.  In that spirit, we are particularly interested in 
receiving applications from individuals who would contribute to the 
diversity of our faculty.
