Assistant Professor of Archaeology

The Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL) invites applications for a tenure-track position in Midwestern/North American archaeology at the level of Assistant Professor to begin in August 2025. We seek candidates excited to join a collegial department of teacher-scholars dedicated to undergraduate education.

We seek a broadly-trained archaeologist who is dedicated to teaching excellence, active field-based research, and ongoing campus and community service. We are especially interested in candidates who are committed to a four-field approach to enhance the quality of undergraduate education for all our students. We encourage applicants whose experience, research, and teaching examine anthropology from diverse, nuanced perspectives. The successful candidate will present evidence for the ability to engage students in high impact experiences, including lab-based courses, archaeological fieldwork, and undergraduate research, which is highly valued by the department and university.

The standard teaching load at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse for tenure-track faculty is 4/4 (3 preps) per semester, with a reduced 3/3 load and limited service expectations in the first year. One quarter of this load may include coordinating all internships within the department and supervising Open Lab weekly.

Our search will remain open until closed, but applicants should know that for full consideration to be guaranteed, please submit resume by Oct. 7, 2024.
