The University of Oklahoma’s Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History and
the Department of Anthropology seek an Assistant/Associate Curator of Native
American Languages and an Assistant/Associate Professor of Anthropology for a
tenure track position. This is a nine-month joint appointment between the
department and the museum. We seek a scholar holding a Ph.D. in linguistics or
linguistic anthropology with a research specialization in Native American
languages. Candidates should demonstrate a willingness to engage in outreach
to Native communities in Oklahoma, including collaborative research and
community participation in museum exhibits and programs. The holder of this
position will develop language documentation and maintenance projects with
Oklahoma’s Native communities and must possess a willingness to seek external
funding for outreach and research, as well as maintaining the current language
collection in the museum. In the role of curator, the successful candidate
will utilize traditional and digital archival techniques to establish a public
collection of American Indian language data. It is expected that the candidate
will have strong abilities in digital multi-media technology and its use in
linguistic research, outreach, and pedagogy. Scholars working on combating
language endangerment and the development of language maintenance strategies,
as well as those with experience in fieldwork-based descriptive linguistics
are encouraged to apply. 

The state of Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma have excellent resources
for work on American Indian languages. The state is home to over forty
American Indian languages representing at least six families. The Sam Noble
Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is a large and comprehensive center for
research and public programs. Housed in a state-of-the-art facility and winner
of the National Medal for Museums, the museum maintains a strong commitment to
community service and has an established tradition of working with American
Indian communities. Its Divisions of Ethnology and Archaeology hold
significant collections of American Indian material culture. The museum has 10
active curators who are leading researchers in their disciplines. The
Department of Anthropology is a Ph.D.-granting program with a focus on
American Indian studies. The department offers a full and growing curriculum
of instruction in American Indian languages, with classes offered in Choctaw,
Kiowa, Cherokee, and Creek/Seminole. The successful candidate will join a
department that includes linguistic anthropologists and Native language
instructors. The campus is also home to a strong Native American Studies
program, a rich Western history archive, and a large Native American student
body.

Consideration of applications will begin December 31, 2014 and the position
will remain open until filled. OU is an equal opportunity/affirmative action

disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants should send a letter
