Visiting Assistant Professor
Biological Anthropologist

The Department of Anthropology at St. Lawrence University invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor position in biological anthropology (potentially renewable for up to three years), beginning August 2012.  Qualified candidates will teach our required introductory course in Human Origins as well as an upper-level research seminar in biological anthropology.  Course load is three per semester; the particular array of remaining courses is open but should complement the offerings of a four-field anthropology department and take advantage of the department’s physical anthropology teaching collections.  Candidates with Ph.D. in hand preferred; ABDs also acceptable.

SLU is a small, liberal arts college in upstate New York and an equal opportunity employer wishing to increase the diversity of our faculty; candidates from ethnic backgrounds typically under-represented in higher education are strongly encouraged to apply.  Strong evidence of desire and ability to teach in a small liberal arts college setting is essential.

To apply, please send a detailed cover letter that addresses teaching philosophy and desire to teach in a small, liberal arts environment; CV; teaching evaluations; and names and addresses (including email contacts) of three references to: Shinu Abraham, Search Committee Chair, Department of Anthropology, St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY, 13617.  Formal review of applications will begin on February 1, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
