[Terra Edwards]

The Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago is hiring an instructional professor (see below and attached). It would be an excellent position for a linguistic anthropologist. Please consider applying or pass this announcement on to others who may be interested.

---------------------------

The Department of Comparative Human Development (CHD) at The University of Chicago is looking to hire an Instructional Professor in Autumn 2022.
---------------------------
The University of Chicago invites applications for an Instructional Professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development. This is a full-time, renewable teaching position beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year.
The Department of Comparative Human Development (CHD) at the University of Chicago is an interdisciplinary department whose faculty includes anthropologists, biologists, linguists, psychologists, sociologists, and methodologists whose theories and methods cross individual social science disciplines. Research in the department explores the social, cultural, psychological, and biological processes of change that vary across time, across individuals, across societies and cultures, and across species. Please see our website, https://humdev.uchicago.edu.

The Instructional Professor will teach six courses divided between CHD and the undergraduate core curriculum. The exact division depends on departmental need. CHD courses will include the introductory course in human development for undergraduate majors and newly-designed courses with broad appeal, intended to introduce undergraduate students to foundational topics in CHD, and with broader import in the social sciences. In addition to teaching, the Instructional Professor will work with the Department Chair and the Director of Undergraduate Studies to develop undergraduate programming and advise BA theses.

Instructional Professors must have the PhD in hand before September 1, 2022. Teaching experience is required, and preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated experience teaching in cultural, psychological or anthropological areas of the social sciences. We are especially interested in scholars whose training has prepared them to teach across two or more of the social science core sequences. For more information, please see: http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/socialsciences/#socialsciencescollegiatedivisiongeneraleducationsequences
Applications must be submitted online through the University of Chicago’s Interfolio website at http://apply.interfolio.com/102166.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

Review of applications will begin on March 4, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled and/or the search is closed.
This position will be part of the Service Employees International Union.
