The Department of Anthropology at Rutgers, the State University of New
Jersey, invites applications for a tenure-track position in language,
culture and power at the Assistant Professor level to start Fall 2012,
subject to the availability of funding. We seek someone with expertise in
linguistic anthropology, whose work takes a critical approach to culture,
and who is capable of teaching courses in linguistic and cultural
anthropology at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Geographical
area is open, but preference will be given to candidates whose work focuses
on such regions as Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and China. The
ideal candidate's research will engage questions that include, for example,
language and social inequality; language and human rights; multilingual
communities; language and gender; the language of politics and public
policy; or language, race and ethnicity.
 The successful candidate will strengthen the Department's Critical
Interventions in Theory and Ethnography (CITE) program, which integrates
contemporary critical cultural and linguistic theories with deep
ethnographic engagement in a world transformed by globalization, with
special emphasis on the study of culture, equality, justice, and rights.

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 cover letter that includes a statement
of research and teaching interests, one writing sample of fewer than 30
pages, and the names and contact information of three references.
Send materials (electronic submissions only, subject line should read
"Anthropology Search") to Prof. Daniel Goldstein, Search Committee Chair, at
dgoldstein at anthropology.rutgers.edu. Review of applications will begin
October 1, 2011.

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.
