Building on strengths in sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and environmental anthropology, the department offers an exceptional environment for scholars interested in how cities are shaped by migration, inequality, environmental change, governance, infrastructure, and community life, as well as how urban residents adapt to and transform rapidly changing social and ecological conditions.

Since its founding in 1839, Boston University has embraced a mission of openness and access, becoming one of the first universities in the nation to welcome all students of ability regardless of race, gender, or creed.

The Department of Anthropology at Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenured position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor in the archaeology of South America. We are especially interested in senior scholars working in the Andean region, greater Amazonia, or in the interfaces between these regions. We seek a scholar whose research will extend one of the leading programs in South American archaeology in North America and who will help us build an expansive, continentally connected archaeology rooted in anthropological holism.

We welcome candidates whose interests complement those of our faculty, and especially work that engages thematic clusters such as long-term human–environment dynamics, historical ecology, and landscape transformation; the archaeology of complex societies, urbanism, and imperial formations. Successful candidates will integrate innovative theory and methods which may include archaeometry, geoarchaeology, paleobotany, zooarchaeology, and computational approaches.

The teaching load for research-active faculty is 2:1. Courses with experiential or field-based components are particularly welcome.

Qualifications

As a senior hire, the successful candidate will bring a sustained record of externally funded fieldwork, high-impact publication, highly effective teaching, and graduate mentorship.
