University of Washington - Seattle, Anthropology
Part-time/Temporary Lecturer, Medical Anthropology
Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | Washington, United States |
Position: | Lecturer |
The Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington in Seattle invites expressions of interest in temporary teaching for the 2012-13 academic year, from PhD sociocultural anthropologists specializing in medical anthropology.
Here at the UW, we have a large and thriving "medical anthropology track" within the anthropology major -- 200+ students! It is stretching the faculty's ability to provide the courses these folks need to graduate on time; our own recent PhD who was lined up to teach for us next year has gotten a fantastic tenure-track job offer elsewhere. We are thus looking, on short notice, for someone with their PhD in hand who might be ready and willing to teach medical anthropology in our department for the 2012-13 academic year beginning in September.
We can be flexible in terms of geographic focus and topical interests, but the person we hire will need to have degree already in hand, have teaching experience, and be able to hit the ground running to teach four or possibly more medical anthropology classes, over two or three quarters. These would be upper-level undergraduate courses, with mostly juniors and seniors, 30 to 40 students in each class. Salary is commensurate with experience. Although the position is temporary and there is no prospect of it becoming permanent, this could be a terrific opportunity for someone to gain some experience and perhaps get to know some UW medical anthropologists.
If you meet these criteria and are interested, please send a letter of interest, a CV and any materials relating to previous teaching experience (syllabi, course evaluations, etc) as electronic attachments to jstaylor@uw.edu as soon as possible, but no later than June 11, 2012.
