We seek instructors whose area
of expertise complements current department strengths in archaeology (pre-colonial and early post-colonial history of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas ), biological anthropology (molecular Anthropology, human ecology and forensic anthropology, including, but not limited to, paleoanthropology, skeletal biology, or bioarchaeology), or cultural anthropology (race and ethnicity, medicine, health, science, gender,
