MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGIST
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY
THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL
The Department of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill seeks to hire a medical anthropologist, preferably at the
rank of Associate or advanced Assistant Professor. Areas of particular
interest include social studies of medicine, ethnography of medical
institutions and sciences, comparative healing systems, anthropology of
sickness, anthropology of the body, and critical medical anthropology.
We also welcome biocultural approaches to issues of health and the
biology of poverty. We favor candidates with innovative approaches who
can contribute to and bridge the research themes within our department.
Geographic region is open, but field experience, a comparative focus
and an interest in global networks and processes are all desirable.
Demonstrated teaching skills are a high priority.
The Anthropology Department currently has 26 regular faculty members,
organized into three overlapping concentrations (Anthropology of
Meaning, Social Systems, and Ecology and Evolution) and two programs
(Medical Anthropology and Archaeology), as well as informal working
groups such as Culture, Environment, and Health; Science, Technology and
Society; and Social Movements. Faculty teach two courses per semester
and are expected to engage actively in both research and graduate and
undergraduate training. We encourage applicants to examine the
department's website (http://www.unc.edu/depts/anthro/) for further
information about the program, as well as current faculty and student
interests. Informal inquiries about the position are welcomed at
