The following job announcement has just been authorized.
CIESAS-Sureste (Center for Research and Advanced Study in Social
Anthropology), a research organization with graduate programs and
regional center in San Cristbal, invites applications for two
tenure-track positions in the anthropological study of southeastern
Mexico. Preference to Mexican citizens, junior rank.
Requirements: Ph.D. awarded/near completion, demonstrated research and
graduate teaching capacity, fluent Spanish. Interests: linguistics,
indigenous education, law and society, social/political movements,
social history, ecology, gender, visual anthropology. Preliminary
deadline December 1, 1998. Positions open until outstanding
candidates contracted. Send CV, letter stating qualifications,
research plan, 3 examples of written work, names/addresses of 3
academic referees to:
Coordinadora, CIESAS-Sureste
AP 338, San Cristbal de las Casas
Chiapas 29247, Mxico
Information/electronic submissions: ciesas at sclc.ecosur.mx, tel/fax:

To amplify what sort of linguist(s) are invited to apply for these
positions, I may add that linguists or linguistic anthropologists of
virtually any theoretical persuasion and specialization with
experience and ongoing research interests in the languages of Chiapas
(Mayan [Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Chol, Lakandon, and Mam, to name
the most numerous], Mixe-Zoque, as well as regional varieties of
Spanish) are welcome to apply. CIESAS is a center for full-time
research, with links to teaching in graduate level programs in its
other centers (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Jalapa, and
Chetumal). We hope to be able to make tenurable appointments which
could begin as early as March 1999. (This posting submitted by John
B. Haviland, currently Ctedra Patrimonial, CIESAS-Sureste,
