Roehampton is one of the leading modern universities for research, which was confirmed by its outstanding performance in the 2008 RAE. It also has one of the highest concentrations of National Teaching Fellows in the UK. The University is proud of its strong sense of community among its diverse student and staff population and its tradition of academic excellence that stretches back to the 1840s. Roehampton's stunning 54-acre campus beside Richmond Park is less than 30 minutes from central London.
The Department of Life Sciences is seeking to appoint two social anthropologists for the academic year 2011 - 2012. The first post (0.2FTE, HR49/11) involves teaching for a first-year introductory module and running seminars for an interdisciplinary module. The second post (0.4FTE, HR50/11) covers teaching for a first-year introduction to ethnographic texts, some supervision of student projects and a second-year module.  Areas of specialisation for this second-year module are open (although they should complement what is offered in the degree programme) but the ability to teach kinship would be useful.
The successful applicant for both posts will preferably have a PhD in Social Anthropology or related area, You will be an active researcher with a track record of research publications, together with the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues from other disciplines. Highly organised and a strong communicator, you will be an effective and innovative teacher who is able to develop and deliver undergraduate modules.
The first post (0.2FTE, HR49/11) is fixed term from September to December 2011.
The second post (0.4FTE, HR50/11) is fixed term from August 2011 to July 2012.
