Job description:
Anthropology - Assistant Professor
Carleton University
Sociology and Anthropology - Assistant Professor (Closing date: January 17, 2014)
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology invites applications from qualified candidates for a preliminary tenure-track appointment in Anthropology at the rank of Assistant Professor, to commence July 1, 2014.
We seek a broadly trained scholar who does research with First Nations in Canada and relates this work to socio-cultural anthropology and social theory, addressing both Indigenous practices and colonial regimes. Specific themes addressed in the candidate's research might include (but are not limited to): urban indigeneity; community; identity and expressive culture; environmental stewardship and land-based activism; cultural, artistic, and linguistic revival; cultural property rights; livelihood practices; Indigenous and comparative political ontologies; kinship and relatedness; sovereignty, treaty rights and land claims processes; and trauma, healing and reconciliation.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers programs in the two disciplines at the Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels. Our anthropology faculty members specialize in sociocultural anthropology, and study all dimensions of social and cultural life, including cross-cultural interactions, responses to political-economic conditions and globalization, and culture change.
The successful applicant should have a Ph.D in hand by the time of appointment and an active research profile oriented towards significant peer-reviewed publications. This candidate must also demonstrate teaching excellence, have a scholarly and teaching background sufficient to immediately assume core teaching duties in Anthropology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and contribute effectively to graduate supervision and academic life in the Department. The preferred candidate will complement existing expertise in the Department and develop a program of research that makes effective use of Carleton's location in Ottawa.
In addition to a c.v. and covering letter, applicants should provide a writing sample, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and arrange for the arrival of three letters of reference by January 17, 2014, when our review of applications will begin. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Applications and letters of reference should be addressed to:
Neil Gerlach, Chair (attn: Anthropology position)

Located in Ottawa, Ontario, Carleton University is a dynamic research and teaching institution with a tradition of leading change. Its internationally recognized faculty, staff, and researchers provide more than 27,000 full- and part-time students from every province and more than 100 countries around the world with academic opportunities in more than 65 programs of study. Carleton's creative, interdisciplinary, and international approach to research has led to many significant discoveries and creative work in science and technology, business, governance, public policy, and the arts. As an innovative institution, Carleton is uniquely committed to developing solutions to real world problems by pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding daily.
Minutes from downtown, Carleton University is located on a beautiful campus in the central portion of Ottawa, bordered by the Rideau River on one side, and the Rideau Canal on the other. With over 12 national museums and the spectacular Gatineau Park close by, there are many excellent recreational opportunities for individuals and families to enjoy. The City of Ottawa itself, with a population of almost one million, is Canada's capital city and reflects the country's bilingual and multicultural character. Carleton's location in the nation's capital provides many opportunities for research with groups and institutions that reflect the diversity of the country.
Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our faculty and its scholarship including, but not limited to, women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. All positions are subject to budgetary approval.
