Salary: Open
Type: Full Time - Entry

The University of Alabama invites applications for an entry level
tenure-track position in archaeology, to begin August, 2009. PhD
is required at the time of appointment. We seek an archaeologist
with research interests in Latin America, broadly conceived to
include the Caribbean, who will contribute to our doctoral program
in the archaeology of complex societies in the Americas. Candidates
should have expertise that complements that of the current faculty,
including strong qualifications in advanced quantitative methods
and GIS. The successful candidate will be expected to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses, mentor graduate students, and
pursue an active program of field research supported by extramural
funds, involving students in the research, and leading to publications
contributing to theoretical and comparative literature in
anthropological archaeology. Evidence of teaching excellence is
required. The Department of Anthropology takes a traditional
four-field approach to the BA, MA, and PhD degrees, emphasizing
two areas of specialization which crosscut subdisciplines: the
anthropology of health and the archaeology of complex societies in
the Americas. The University of Alabama owns and has research
access to Moundville Archaeological Park, a major Mississippian
ceremonial center. To apply, go to http://facultyjobs.ua.edu and
complete the online application. Attach a letter of application and a
curriculum vitae. Send three letters of recommendation, examples
of publications (PDF format is desirable), and teaching evaluations,
