REED COLLEGE Department of Anthropology invites applications for a two-year visiting position in sociocultural anthropology to commence August 2023. The geographic region is open, but we prefer expertise in South America, Africa, South Asia, or SE Asia. Topical specialization is also open but we especially welcome applications from candidates whose research addresses some subset of the following: environmental anthropology; comparative race and ethnicity studies; linguistic anthropology; and sex, gender, and sexuality studies. We seek a teacher-scholar whose research combines situated ethnographic and historical investigation and experience in relevant field language(s) with a macroscopic scale of inquiry. Theoretical expertise should include both contemporary approaches and broader historical contexts of the discipline and of Western social thought. Ph.D or ABD required. Reed is on the semester system with a teaching load of five courses per year; all students write a senior thesis.
In your application materials, we welcome a description of how your teaching and scholarship would be suited to the liberal arts college environment. Reed College is a community that believes that cultural diversity is essential to the excellence of our academic program, and thus we ask that in your cover letter you discuss how, as a scholar, teacher, or community member, you would engage and sustain the commitment to diversity and inclusion articulated in Reed College's diversity statement (http://www.reed.edu/diversity/index.html)
