Job Details
The School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Archaeology to start in August 2025. We seek an anthropological archaeologist focusing on environmental research with an active field program, expertise in laboratory-based analyses that can provide hands-on training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, and the potential to offer a field school. We have a strong preference for scholars who are committed to working with Indigenous or marginalized communities in the continental US, Canada, or northern Mexico. Ideal candidates will also have strong commitments to interdisciplinary engagement and complement the School’s existing intellectual strengths and pursuits.
The School of Anthropology supports inclusive excellence. The University of Arizona is the first four-year public university in Arizona to be recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and has received the Seal of Excelencia. The university also promotes Indigenous initiatives and research through the Office of Native American Initiatives. As a land-grant HSI, we are committed to meeting the educational needs of Arizona’s vibrant and diverse communities, including students from historically excluded backgrounds and first-generation students.
