[Linganth] Job posting in Medical Anthropology at UNC Charlotte

[Elise Berman]

Dear colleagues,

I am excited to announce that the Department of Anthropology at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor of Applied Medical Anthropology with a
specialization in cultural aspects of urban health disparities, with a
start date of August 12, 2019.

Requirements for this position are a Ph.D. in Anthropology or a related
field, in hand by the time of appointment; a record of scholarly
publications and an active research agenda; a focus on health, wellness,
and/or nutrition in urban areas; and experience teaching at the college
level in a diverse environment. Desired qualifications include experience
collaborating with scholars in other disciplines and/or community partners;
success in securing external funding; the ability to complement the
department’s current strengths; a focus on the intersection of health,
wellness, and nutrition among ethnic minority populations; and the ability
to support the new joint M.A./M.P.H. program. There is an expectation that
the successful candidate will develop a local community-engaged research
project in Charlotte, NC, that will provide research opportunities for our
undergraduate and graduate student researchers. Ideally, the candidate will
also serve as a role model for UNC Charlotte’s diverse student population.
The Department of Anthropology at UNC Charlotte emphasizes four-field
training for its students and offers B.A. and M.A. degrees in Anthropology
with optional concentrations in Applied Anthropology at both levels. The
teaching load for new faculty is two courses per semester.

This position is part of a cluster hire in Anthropology, Geography,
Psychology, and Sociology as the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences is
strengthening its already robust social science expertise in health
research. Our Social Aspects of Health Initiative (SAHI) is designed
explicitly to identify and address health inequities in urban regions by
encouraging collaboration among scholars to identify social, institutional
and environmental contexts, as well as policies and practices that
contribute to equitable health care provision, health outcomes, and quality
of life. To learn more, visit our website at
https://pages.uncc.edu/healthresearch.

Candidates should submit the following to https://jobs.uncc.edu [Position
Number
#0049]: (1) a letter of application responding to the required and desired
qualifications
listed above; (2) a curriculum vitae; (3) the names and contact information
for three
referees. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2018 and
continue until the
position is filled. For more information contact Search Committee members
