Vacancy Number: 10580
The
Department of Anthropology,
University of Auckland, is seeking to fill two positions, a
lecturer/senior lecturer and a senior lecturer/associate professor in
biological anthropology. The successful applicants will complement and
enhance existing strengths in the program, be active in field or
laboratory research, and develop research links and collaborations
within and beyond the department. They will be expected to contribute to
undergraduate and graduate courses and labs in biological anthropology,
undertake graduate supervision, carry out an active research program
leading to peer-reviewed publications, and take on administrative
responsibilities commensurate with their level.
The department has a strong program in multi-disciplinary anthropology
with undergraduate degrees in both anthropology (BA) and Anthropological
Science (BSc) and graduate degrees in anthropology. There is
considerable co-teaching and research cooperation between the
subdisciplines. The Department has close links with the School of
Biological Sciences and the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences and
maintains laboratories and technicians. We are committed to the
engagement of undergraduates and graduates in ongoing research.
It is anticipated that the candidates will complement and strengthen
department interests in anthropology and archaeology of Oceania and
Australasia, biocultural analysis of human health and development,
bioarchaeology, colonial and postcolonial societies.
Appropriate research/teaching areas include, but are not limited to:
- Anthropological genetics (e.g. genetic effects of
culture and sociality; human origins and evolution, human or primate
population biology, phylogenetics, development genetics)
- Bone biology (e.g. microstructural analysis, 3d
visualization)/bone chemistry (e.g. isotopic analysis)
- Evolutionary or behavioural ecology (human or
primate)
- Biocultural analysis of modern humans (e.g.
nutritional or demographic anthropology)
