Job Posted August 28, 2009

The Department of Anthropology at Southern Methodist University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in archaeology beginning August 2010. We seek a scholar with ongoing research in environmental archaeology, particularly one who works on issues related to human responses to climatic and environmental change, and human environmental impacts. We are particularly interested in individuals with research expertise and field experience in North America or the Pacific Islands, but are open to excellent candidates who work on comparable issues in other regions.

Preference will be given to scholars with methodological skills in zooarchaeology or paleobotany, and who have an established field and laboratory research program, a strong record of obtaining external funding, excellent scholarly credentials, and experience in working on interdisciplinary research projects. Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. The successful applicant is expected to continue our Department's participation in the Environmental Studies major.

Applications may be submitted electronically (pdf format preferred) or by letter, and should include a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references. To insure full consideration, the application must be received by November 2, 2009, but the committee will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.

Candidates of interest will be interviewed at the 2009 AAA meetings in Philadelphia. Applications should be sent to Professor David Meltzer, Chair, Department of Anthropology, Southern Methodist University, PO Box 750336, Dallas, TX 75275 or to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
