ANNOUNCEMENT
of a position in
LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY


The Department of Anthropology of The University of Alabama invites
applications for an entry level tenure-track position in linguistic
anthropology, to begin August, 2011. PhD is required at the time of
appointment. We seek a linguistic anthropologist with skills in both
linguistic analysis and ethnographic methods and with an active research
agenda involving a non-Indo-European language. Topical and geographic
specializations are open, although the applicant should complement existing
specialties in the department¹s four-field anthropology program. The
successful candidate will teach core undergraduate and graduate level
classes in linguistic anthropology, as well as courses in their areas of
specialization.

The Department of Anthropology takes a traditional four-field approach to
the BA, MA,
and PhD degrees, emphasizing two areas of specialization that crosscut
subdisciplines:
biocultural medical anthropology and the archaeology of complex societies in
the Americas. The successful candidate will be able to assist graduate
students in one or both of these tracks by serving on committees, providing
instruction in linguistic and ethnographic methods, and helping students
prepare to do research in the candidate¹s research region or language.
Applicants should also have ongoing projects and plans for future research
that span subdisciplinary boundaries.

To apply, go to (http://facultyjobs.ua.edu <http://facultyjobs.ua.edu> ) and
complete the online application. Attach a letter of application (outlining
research interests, plans and relevant experience) and a curriculum vitae.
Send examples of publications (PDF format is desirable), teaching
evaluations (if available) and the names and addresses of three references,
directly to Dr. Marysia Galbraith (mgalbrai at ua.edu ), chair of the
Linguistic Anthropology Search Committee, Department of Anthropology, Box
870210, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, 35487-0210. Review of
applications will begin December 1, 2010, and will continue until the
position is filled. The University of Alabama is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, and actively seeks diversity among
its employees.
