This is a renewable, non-tenure track position, starting the 2024-25 academic year, with the opportunity of promotion to Senior Lecturer based on outstanding performance and service to the department. The initial renewable contract is for one year. After a Lecturer has been reappointed twice, they may be promoted to Senior Lecturer and given a three-year contract.
The Lectureship entails teaching four courses a semester, including our introduction to archaeology, history of anthropological theory, and introductory and upper-level classes in the individual’s area of expertise.
