Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology or Archaeology by September 1, 2024. The successful candidate will teach a full-time load of six courses per year, two course per 10-week term, ranging from a yearly introduction to world prehistory, to methods courses in field archaeology and historic preservation, to other courses in their areas of expertise that will be of interest to a diverse group of undergraduate students.
