                  Department Chair Position

                  The Anthropology Department at San Francisco State 
University
                  invites applications for a full or associate professor
                  position with a possibility of tenure. The successful
                  candidate will begin serving as department chair at the 
time
                  of appointment, effective Fall 2008. While the area of
                  specialization is open, the department is especially
                  interested in enhancing the areas of Archaeology and 
Cultural
                  Anthropology. Experience and interest in Urban, National, 
and
                  Global issues in Anthropology are especially welcome, as 
is a
                  commitment to diversity as an educational goal. Candidates
                  should have experience as chair or equivalent 
administrative
                  experience to build a dynamic program with urban-applied 
and
                  social justice orientations. Knowledge of NAGPRA issues is
                  desirable. A strong research and publication record is
                  expected. There are approximately 200 students in our BA 
and
                  MA programs in cultural anthropology, biological 
anthropology,
                  archaeology, and visual anthropology. The Treganza
                  Anthropology Museum, one of the few on the West Coast, is
                  another great resource. We cross-list courses and 
co-sponsor
                  activities with many departments and institutes such as 
the
                  Human Sexuality Studies Department, the Biobehavioral 
Research
                  Center, the Global Peace, Human Rights and Justice Studies
                  Program, the Pacific Asian Studies Program, and the Public
                  Research Institute at SFSU. For further information, visit
