annual positions at Rutgers

[Laura Ahearn]

Dear All,

Please see -- and circulate widely -- the descriptions below for possible annual instructor positions at Rutgers, pending administrative approval.  While none of the listings is for a linguistic anthropologist per se, someone with expertise in this subfield would definitely be considered for the Cultural Anthro position, as I will be on leave next year.  Please feel free to contact my colleague, Dr. David Hughes (dhughes at aesop.rutgers.edu) for more information.

Thanks!

Laura
