- Ha! If you don't already know what Stanford wants with this job than you ain't gettin it!

+This response is nasty and unhelpful. If you have some insider knowledge you want to share, do so. If you suffermerely from disenchantment with the job market, I'm sure you know you are not alone (10/21)

- It is a vague advertisement--and there was no addtional information available to be found (at least publiclly). Obviously they will get hundreds of applications. I'd still apply, and look at their department strengths and orientation.

===The University of Pittsburgh: Assistant Professor, Archaeology of Mesoamerica ===

=== The University of Texas at San Antonio: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Anthropology - Environmental Archaeology of Latin America. Open until filled; position closed 29 November 2019. === The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has embarked on a focused cluster hiring plan to recruit top-tier researchers in interdisciplinary areas of knowledge that will advance the study of Social and Environmental Challenges in Latin America. Home to some of the largest bioreserves in the world and some of world’s most important biodiversity hotspots, Latin America’s environments are undergoing rapid transformation due to climate change, environmental degradation, and politico-socio-economic transformations across the region. These forces are coupled in complex ways, and understanding the coupled dynamics of society, climate, and environment in Latin America presents a grand challenge that is fertile ground for transdisciplinary research.

To address this challenge, UTSA is recruiting a cohort of researchers from different disciplines whose research centers on environmental degradation, climate change, and the associated socioeconomic and political challenges and transformations in Latin America and the US-Mexico borderlands. The goal is to foster collaborative and transdisciplinary research to understand and confront the emerging social and environmental challenges facing the region. This targeted cluster hire will build on and leverage our established research portfolio, propelling our ability to tackle and solve previously unsolvable problems. Hires are expected to build their own unique programs of research, as well as to collaborate with other hires in this cluster and with colleagues in their home department, college, and other colleges.

As part of this cluster, the Department of Anthropology seeks to hire an environmental archaeologist at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure track) to start August 2020. We seek a scholar who studies the long-term relationships between past societies, environmental transformations, and climate change in Latin America (region open, including US-Mexico borderlands). Areas of specialty could include but are not limited to bioarchaeology, paleobotany, zooarchaeology, archaeological chemistry, ancient DNA, geoarchaeology, climate change, remote sensing, and “big-data” approaches. We would welcome a scholar who employs methods that complement those used by current faculty. This hire would amplify the department’s strengths in New World archaeology and environmental anthropology. The ideal candidate also creates transdisciplinary collaborative synergies with faculty hired as part of this cluster and existing faculty in UTSA’s Geography, Geosciences, Environmental Science, and Demography programs, the Center for Archaeological Research and other units. The Department has a Ph.D. program emphasizing anthropology’s engagement with environmental issues. We are looking for candidates who will enhance this focus and who also will support the four-field emphases of our B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. programs.

Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Anthropology or related field at time of appointment; theoretically motivated research; an established record of teaching, research, and service appropriate to the rank of Assistant Professor; demonstrated interest and experience in collaborative teaming and/or transdisciplinary research; desire and ability to contribute to graduate and undergraduate programs and to educate and mentor students from a culturally diverse urban population.

Preferred Qualifications: strong potential for securing external funding; commitment to a four-field approach to teaching and research; ability to complement existing faculty specializations; active field research program. Preferred candidates will be able to successfully teach and mentor diverse, underserved students, including students of color and non-traditional students, and have the ability to contribute to the university’s commitment to inclusive excellence as a Hispanic Serving Institution.

Responsibilities include: teaching basic courses in archaeology and general anthropology, elective undergraduate courses, methods oriented courses, and core seminars and topical graduate courses in areas of specialization; research and service in a program that offers B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees.

Applicants must submit: that includes a discussion of the role that diversity and inclusion play in an academic environment
 * a letter of application describing research, teaching, and service accomplishments and goals


 * a CV
 * up to three representative publications


 * teaching evaluations if available

Materials must be submitted on-line via jobs.utsa.edu. Please reference posting TT20190060P. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Position close date 29 November 2019. Inquiries may be directed to the Cluster Search Committee Chair, Dr. Jason Yaeger (jason.yaeger@utsa.edu]).
 * names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers of three references.

Applicants selected for interviews must be able to show proof that they will be eligible and qualified to work in the United States by time of hire. UTSA is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.


 * I'm curious, where did the text on the regional focus of this position come from? It is not posted on their application page as far as I can see, and I did not see it in adverts posted elsewhere (For example, here).
 * The regional focus is weirdly only in the announcement on the department website
 * Posting on UTSA website says review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
