https://apply.interfolio.com/45482


 The Department of Anthropology at Rutgers, The State University of New
Jersey in New Brunswick invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant
Professor position in cultural anthropology, with a specialization in the
anthropology of race and racialization. The position begins in September
2018.

*Priority will be given to applications received by October 25, 2017, but
applications will be reviewed until the search is concluded.  *

We seek candidates whose research and teaching engage critical race studies
in ways that deepen understanding of processes, practices, institutions,
and semiotic forms that produce “race” as a social fact and a lived
reality. Topics of inquiry might include (but are not limited to)
comparative and intersectional perspectives on race, class, ethnicity,
gender, sexuality, and ability; rights struggles; how institutions
(re-)produce racial hierarchies and disparities; and structures of power
and forms of governance that sustain racialized inclusions, exclusions, and
inequalities. Geographic area is open.

The successful candidate will be an ethnographically grounded and
theoretically engaged scholar trained in anthropology (or in an
interdisciplinary program with a strong anthropology component), with a
strong commitment to liberal arts education. The successful applicant’s
research will enhance existing strengths in the interdisciplinary study of
race and coloniality at Rutgers University and complement the expertise of
faculty in the anthropology department’s Critical Interventions in Theory
and Ethnography (CITE) program, whose work addresses the production of
inequality and injustice in areas such as gender; the anthropology of the
body; economic, political, and legal anthropology; and linguistic
anthropology.

The teaching load is two courses per semester and includes undergraduate as
well as graduate classes. Service expectations, include some advising of
graduate and undergraduate students, and serving on department and
university committtees.

The initial appointment is for three years and is renewable for a second
three-year period contingent on a successful reappointment review. Tenure
review usually occurs during the sixth year. The Department of Anthropology
is part of the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS).
