We value the power that diversity brings to our campus. We seek applicants who demonstrate commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in their interactions with students, campus colleagues, and communities with whom they engage in research.The Department of Anthropology takes a four-field approach to the BA, MA, and PhD degrees, emphasizing two areas of specialization that crosscut sub-disciplines: biocultural medical anthropology (broadly construed to encompass physical, sociocultural, and/or psychological wellbeing and functioning) and the archaeology of complex societies in the Americas. The successful candidate will be able to assist graduate students by chairing and serving on committees, providing instruction that prepares them to work across disciplinary boundaries, and helping them prepare to do original research. Applicants should also have ongoing projects and plans for future research that complement or build on Department strengths. Information about the Department is available at https://anthropology.ua.edu/.
