• Experience in addressing social equity in research, teaching, and other professional activities.
• Experience managing an archaeology lab or other material culture collections.

Preferred Qualifications

• Two or more years of teaching experience at the undergraduate level.
• One to three years experience in supervising students in a work setting.
• Past experience with supervising and teaching a field school or other applied, educational program.

To instantiate our values of Access, Equity, and Diversity, the UNCW College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is embarking on our second year of a cluster hire initiative in the areas of Africana Studies, Race, Racial Inequality, and Social Justice. We seek to build a network of researchers, scholars, and artists that will support the ongoing work in which we are engaged and to set a path forward as we grow these areas of critical study into regional and national strengths. The position of Associate Professor/Professor of Criminology within the Department of Sociology and Criminology is part of this initiative.

The Department of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington invites applications for a full-time Lecturer position. This is a renewable, non-tenure track position, starting the 2022-23 academic year, with the possibility of promotion to Senior Lecturer based on experience and outstanding performance and service to the department.

The Lectureship entails teaching four courses a semester, including our introduction to archaeology, history of anthropological theory capstone, and introductory and upper-level classes in the individual's area of expertise. The topics of such classes might include the anthropology of race & racism, historical archaeology of Africa and the African diaspora, ethnoarchaeology, bioarchaeology of race, colonial and post-colonial research, and/or racial disparities of health from the perspective of medical anthropology. The position also involves some service responsibilities. The application deadline is January 3, 2022.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements: Ph.D. in Anthropology at the time of employment.  Candidates should possess research interest in Africa, African-America communities, or among the African diaspora in the U.S., the Caribbean, or other parts of the Americas.  ABD will be considered; however, applicants who are ABD for the terminal degree at time of application must defend by May 2022.

Our program includes an array of courses designed to provide students an overview of the discipline, and a thorough grounding in archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Because there is a strong cross-cultural and comparative focus in Anthropology, students are encouraged to develop competence in a foreign language and to broaden their cultural horizons by participating in study abroad programs. Through participation in field studies and laboratory research projects of faculty mentors, undergraduate students have opportunities to engage in "hands-on" research; sharpen analytical skills; and to develop competence in the use of research instruments and  information technology that are essential aspects of the undergraduate experience in anthropology.

Has anyone heard anything yet? -- still have not (11/10) x 2 -- still nothing (11/15) x 2 -- still nothing (11/19) x2

---> they are probably still reading the hundreds of letters that they requested in the first round 🙄

So one month later and still nothing. Anyone else heard back? (11/30) nothing x 2 -- (12/3) nothing

I guess no one on this wiki made their list. No search ever takes two months to go through a first round review. (12/9)..

I saw they hired someone to fill this position for 1 year in the spring last year. Not sure what it means for the timeline but it does mean they could have an inside hire for this position.

To the comment above: If we look at the data from past years, we can see that an internal candidate does not always have the advantage (sometimes, in reality, disadvantage), and even when an internal candidate gets a job - it is more about the candidate's academic/teaching capacity, rather than their internal relationships.

ˆˆAgreed.

--Logging onto the job application site at Grinnell, now shows the position is "cancelled." No notice sent out to applicants. Bad form.

-- Received an email announcing that the search was cancelled. 2/10 (x2).

Anyone have more info on what happened here? It's frustrating that they asked for letters up front only to cancel the search.

*I heard from outside sources that they hired their lecturer as full time, so maybe they cancelled the search for that reason?

University of Maryland - Assistant Clinical Professor (3 year term), Honors College (Deadline Feb 14)

The University of Maryland’s University Honors program invites applications for four 3-year postdoctoral teaching appointments with the rank of Assistant Clinical Professor. Assistant Clinical Professors participate fully in the life of a thriving, living-learning community. They teach a small, General Education seminar on a topic related to their research, as well as a first-semester experience and capstone course for the program. Primary responsibilities include:

1. teaching (avg. 13 credit hours per academic year);
2. mentorship and co-curricular activities (e.g., student-facing programming); and
3. curriculum and program development, including course design and curriculum assessment.

The 9-month salary for Assistant Clinical Professors is $66,963 and carries full benefits. Over the course of their 3-year appointment, each Assistant Clinical Professor teaches Gateway and Vantage Point Seminars. Additionally, each Assistant Clinical Professor joins a team of University of Maryland faculty drawn from different academic disciplines in a thematic “cluster.” In their first year, Assistant Clinical Professors develop a 20-person thematic seminar based on their disciplinary expertise and teach it in years 2 and 3. We seek teacher-scholars who can contribute to one of the following four themes:

METAMORPHOSES

How do individuals and entities of all kinds—from people and processes to artifacts and ideas—achieve their full potential, and how is this development affected by their environments? This cluster examines the mechanisms and conditions of natural growth patterns and how these metamorphoses may be enabled or imperiled.

HEALTH MATTERS

Health, broadly construed, encompasses multiple dimensions of wellbeing, from physical, mental, and emotional to financial, material and social. This cluster investigates the myriad historical and current forces that shape health, the circumstances that threaten it, and the acts of resistance and empowerment that support safety and recovery.

HERITAGE

As we chart innovative pathways to the future, does the past matter? And what are our present obligations to it? This cluster investigates the selective mechanics of inheritance, legacy, and patrimony, and interrogates the ways in which we fashion, forsake, and mobilize our histories.

CIVIL BONDS

In bonds as diverse as covalence and synthesis, societies and collaborations, habits form that make these relationships work. This cluster explores how networks of mutual support and/or governance are sustained through collective behaviors, and how polarization and inequality can cause them to fray.

Applicants from all disciplines are welcome to apply. Candidates who have experience working in diverse contexts and who can contribute to a climate of diversity and inclusion are most welcome and actively encouraged to identify their experiences and aspirations in these areas. Please consult our website (https://www.universityhonors.umd.edu) for additional information. Apply online at: https://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/90548

Application Materials

• Letter of application that explains how your scholarship relates to the chosen theme
• Curriculum vitae
• Proposal for theme-related seminar, including title, description (2-4 para), and suggested readings, assessments, and/or activities. Upload as Supplemental Doc 1.
• Teaching portfolio (max. 20 pgs) including 1-pg statement of teaching philosophy and practice (inclusive practices, antiracist pedagogy, etc.), and sample or summary of teaching evaluations
• List of 3 references (no emails sent from system)

The School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University seeks to hire a qualified NAGPRA Collections Specialist to be responsible for locating, documenting, and assessing funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
