The University of Texas at San Antonio Department of Anthropology seeks to hire both cultural anthropologists and archaeologists at the rank of Tenured Associate or Full Professor.   Pending budget approval, two or more positions will be filled.  The Department has recently inaugurated a Ph.D. program emphasizing anthropology’s broad engagement with environmental issues.  We are looking for candidates who will complement or enhance this focus, and who also will support the four-field emphases of our B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. programs. 

 

In cultural anthropology, we are especially interested in ethnographers (geographic area open) who specialize in creative, empirically grounded approaches to: political ecology; science and technology studies; medical anthropology; transnational flows, diaspora, and migration; globalization and environmental discourses; and/or conservation policy and practice.

 

In archaeology, we seek specialists in complex societies (geographic area open) who focus upon issues of landscape formation, urbanism, core-periphery relations, and/or power and the politics of social difference.

Responsibilities include: teaching general anthropology, basic courses in either archaeology or cultural anthropology, elective undergraduate courses and core and specialized graduate courses in areas of specialization; ongoing research and service in a program that offers B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees.
