[URBANTH-L]Job Posting in Religion

[Russell Sharman]

I realize this is not in Urban Anthropology ­ but I want to solicit
applications as many anthropologists as possible. So please forward to as
many colleagues as you can. Thanks!
 
Brooklyn College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor
position, beginning September 1, 2008, to teach, pursue research and
coordinate our Program of Studies in Religion. We seek candidates whose
specialty is religious studies with a disciplinary background in the social
sciences or humanities. Individuals who combine historical, critical, and
interdisciplinary approaches are welcome to apply.  Candidates¹ scholarship
and teaching should shed light on contemporary issues involving religious
difference.  A Ph.D. in any related discipline by August 2008 is required.
 
Brooklyn College has a long tradition of educating first-generation
immigrants, and students who are religiously, racially, and ethnically
diverse.  The college is part of the City University of New York, a leading
academic research institution and the largest urban public university in the
country.  Candidates from underrepresented populations are encouraged to
apply.  We seek candidates with the ability to teach in a diverse,
multicultural urban environment, and who are able to promote dialogue
drawing on Brooklyn¹s rich religious diversity.
 
Candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae,
publications or writing sample, three letters of recommendation, and a

syllabi and class assignments, teaching observations and student
