Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Ohio State University
Deadline: November 01 2010
http://careercenter.aaanet.org/jobs/3456089/assistant-professor
Updated: July 15 2010
The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Anthropology beginning academic year 2011-2012, pending availability of funds. The position is for a cultural anthropologist whose research and teaching focus on cultural, social, and biocultural approaches to infectious disease in particular and to health in general. The emergence of infectious diseases that impact both human and animal populations presents significant global challenges (e.g., tuberculosis, H1N1, avian influenza, HIV). Anthropogenic climate change, profound alterations of landscapes and unprecedented deforestation, shifts in land use patterns, agricultural intensification, accelerated resource extraction, and remarkable population growth are producing ecological disruptions that the world is only now beginning to grapple with, including threats to health. The complexity of factors contributing to the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases and their global impact demand innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. These approaches must consider local and global forces in the development of solutions to issues relating to health. Anthropology has much to bring to the study and mitigation of infectious disease and health. In particular, a cultural anthropologist will employ a holistic approach that considers behavior, culture, and society, as well as the larger political and economic forces that drive changes and provide the conditions that promote infectious disease. The anthropologist recruited will use ethnographic and epidemiological methods of data collection and analysis. This position helps to widen the scope of analysis beyond the traditional framework of biomedicine, and link the cultural, social, and economic landscape in order to understand disease origin, spread, transmission, mitigation, and prevention. The hire will join a department having an empirical, quantitative orientation and wider focus on ecology, evolution, health, and diet. Priority given to applicants emphasizing ethnographic fieldwork and demonstrated ability to interact creatively with colleagues in archaeology and physical and cultural anthropology. Geographic area open. Ph.D. required. Evidence of productivity and excellence in research and teaching required. Ability to teach introductory sociocultural anthropology, anthropological theory, and an ethnographic area/regional course highly desirable. Deadline for applications is November 1, 2010. Send letter of application, CV, and names and contact information of three references to Anthropology Search Committee, Department of Anthropology, 4034 Smith Laboratory, 174 W. 18th Avenue, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1106.
