Area of specialization for this position is open, but we are particularly interested in candidates whose teaching and research will contribute to departmental efforts to enhance diversity, inclusion, and equity. Experience in online course development and teaching is also desirable.

This lecturer position is to be renewed annually contingent on funding. Lecturers are highly valued by the department and the university. Lecturers have professional development opportunities, including a well-defined promotion structure, a professional development leave program, and access to travel funds for conference presentations. Although the primary duties for this position are instructional, continued research and involvement in service at the department, college, and university levels is also expected.

We are an interdisciplinary unit within a large research intensive university of over 52,000 students. More information on the Department can be found at: www.anthro.ufl.edu.

Company

Anthropology lies at the intersection of the multiple approaches to the study of humankind that characterize other disciplines – biological, social, cultural, historical, linguistic, cognitive, material, technological and aesthetic – because of its unique holistic perspective. These multiple approaches are encapsulated in the four traditional subfields that have composed the discipline since its establishment in the 19th century: cultural, archaeological, biological and linguistic anthropology. Anthropologists typically engage in particularistic research (devoted to specific topics, regions, theoretical and methodological concerns) that ultimately contributes to the “big questions” about the human experience.
