Assistant/Associate Professor

The Anthropology Department seeks a Bioarchaeologist at the Assistant/Associate Professor level with expertise in human biology and health and with a research program that emphasizes collaborative and engaged research. We seek a scholar whose research agenda centers ethical and restorative approaches to human remains and human biological data, is defined by collaboration with local and/or indigenous communities, and deploys innovative techniques and approaches. The candidate is expected to establish and run a productive lab, supervise advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and develop collaborations with descendant communities (or the appropriate equivalent) as well as natural and social science research groups on campus. While geographic area of interest is open, we seek a candidate with expertise in technical and/or topical areas such as human osteology, disease, inequality, colonialism, diaspora studies, migration, ancient DNA, epigenetics, microbiome, stable isotopes, or data science. This position represents a critical bridge within Anthropology, serving growing needs in undergraduate and graduate programs in Archaeology, Human Biology, Medical Anthropology, and Sociocultural Anthropology (including our robust concentration in Race, Difference and Power). The successful candidate is expected to bring a set of technical skills and a positive high profile research agenda.

This Tenure Track Assistant/Associate Professor will teach graduate and undergraduate courses and conduct research in the field of Bioarchaeology. This position will set up and run a productive lab, supervising advanced undergraduate and graduate students and to develop collaborations with descendant communities (or appropriate equivalent) as well as natural and social science research groups on campus.
