New Jersey invites applications for a tenure-track position in its cultural
anthropology program at the Assistant Professor level to start fall
2007, contingent on funding. The University is committed to

South Asia or its Diaspora a requirement. The ideal candidate will strengthen
the Department's Critical Interventions in Theory and Ethnography (CITE)
Program, which places special emphasis on the study of culture, inequality,
justice, and rights in a world transformed by global processes.

ABDs will be considered. Candidates should demonstrate excellence in
teaching, creative scholarship, and ongoing field research. Application
materials should include a curriculum vitae, a statement of research
and teaching interests, evidence of excellence in teaching, and the
names and contact information of three references.
