panel for AAA 2013: call for papers

[Laura Ahearn]

Dear All,

While this is definitely a cultural position, I figured there might be some among you interested and qualified.  Also, could you circulate the ad to others who might be interested?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Laura

A complete application packet should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a one-page statement of research and teaching interests, a teaching portfolio or other documentation of teaching experience demonstrating pedagogical excellence (including syllabi and evaluations of courses taught), and the names and contacts of three referees. ABD candidates need a letter of support from their Ph.D. advisor, indicating status of their work and expected date of thesis completion.  Electronic submission of materials is required.  Please e-mail application materials to Dr. Laura Ahearn, Department of Anthropology (ahearn at rutgers.edu).  Include the phrase “CITE Instructor Applicant” in the subject line.    Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
