Subject: assistant or associate professor position available in Anthropology
at U of Calgary

Hello,

  I would greatly appreciate it if you could redirect this advertisement to
anyone you know who might be interested.  Although Canadian policy directs
that priority be given to Canadian applicant,  the Department is hoping to
attract applicants of the very highest quality regardless  of nationality.
This position is strategically important to our Department, and it would be
a great personal assistance to myself if you could pass it along to those
who might be interested.

Thank you in advance,

Alan Smart

 

 

 

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Calgary invites
applications for a tenure-track position in Social and Cultural Anthropology
at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The successful applicant will
have a record of successful research, publication, and teaching. Topical and

instructing courses in the September 2008 semester.  The course load in the
department is four one-semester courses per year and all department members
are expected to teach at all levels, from introductory to graduate. The
ability to take on supervision of doctoral students within one year
following the appointment would be an asset.

listing education, courses taught, research experience, grants and awards,
and publications, with peer reviewed publications specifically noted;  (2)
originals or photocopies of at least two published journal articles or book
chapters that represent your work; (3) copies of student evaluations of any
courses taught; and (4) a cover letter that includes a discussion of the
directions in which you see your career developing over the next decade, a
brief statement of your teaching philosophy, and the names and contact
information for three academic references, should be mailed or couriered to:
Dr Doyle Hatt, Head, Department of Anthropology, University of Calgary, 2500
University Drive NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada. Referees will be contacted
by us for short-listed candidates.  Application deadline: December 15, 2007.

and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Calgary
respects, appreciates, and encourages diversity.
