Exciting opportunity to join the University of Delaware in the Department
of Anthropology!

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY CHAIR, PROFESSOR (TENURED)

The University of Delaware (UD) invites applications and nominations for
the Chair of the Department of Anthropology (ANTH). The search committee
seeks a dynamic leader, enthusiastic about advancing the prominence of the
Department and leading efforts to expand interdisciplinary activities and
new areas of research (e.g., human health, human rights and social justice,
and cultural heritage studies); contributions to interdisciplinary graduate
education; and engaged partnerships across colleges, state, non-profit
social service, health/ environment/ food/ cultural professions and
industries. The effective start date is August 16, 2020, and Chairs are
appointed for renewable terms up to five years.

The Department embraces a holistic approach to anthropology and prides
itself on excellence in undergraduate education, with 75 majors and minors,
and serving more than 2,000 university students each year through various
curricular offers that address the fields of archaeological, biological,
social-cultural, medical, and applied/ critically engaged anthropology. The
Department is expanding its strengths to challenge students to critically
examine issues of diversity and social justice, and to demonstrate that the
study of past, present, and future human conditions matter.

The Chair will lead a department of 10 full-time faculty and several
adjunct faculty members. The faculty is a productive group of engaged
scholar-teachers with international reputations. The Department has ongoing
connections within and outside of the University community, including UD’s
Center for Global and Area Studies, the Joseph Biden School of Public
Policy and Administration, the Disaster Research Center, global and public
health initiatives in the College of Health Sciences, gender studies, and
multiple material culture studies units. Beyond UD, faculty collaborate
with state agencies, foundations, and cultural institutions. We seek to
strengthen existing and develop new strategic inter-department and
interdisciplinary connections within and beyond the University of Delaware.

Candidates must have a record of scholarship commensurate with the rank of
full professor (tenured). Demonstrated evidence of academic leadership at
the department, college, or university level is preferred; however, an
exemplary record of scholarship will be considered in lieu of
administrative experience. Ideal candidates will have a Ph.D. in
Anthropology or a related field. We strongly encourage applications from
scholars working on contemporary humanitarian, social justice, and
environmental sustainability matters in areas such as health, displacement,
development, and/or food with a record of outstanding scholarly
achievement, commitment to undergraduate education, and a demonstrated
commitment to public engagement.

Using the Talent Link application system, applicants should upload a cover
letter, a c.v., and the names and contact information for three references.
Additional materials may be requested at a later stage in the process.
Review of applications will begin on receipt and continue until the
position is filled. Please direct questions, but not application materials
to Professor Bahira Trask ([log in to unmask]), Chair, Search Committee.

Centrally located in the New York-Washington research corridor, the
University of Delaware is one of the nation’s oldest institutions of higher
education. Combining tradition with innovation, the University provides the
Department with a supportive environment for research and teaching.

The University of Delaware recognizes and values the importance of
diversity and inclusion in enriching the experience of its employees and in
supporting its academic mission. We are committed to attracting and
retaining employees with varying identities and backgrounds, and we
strongly encourage applications from educators from under-represented
groups. UD provides equal access to and opportunity in its programs,
facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion,
national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance
status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender
expression.
