Topical specialization open but we especially welcome applications from candidates whose research addresses some subset of the following: archaeology, politics of indigeneity, settler colonialism, linguistic anthropology, material culture, museum anthropology, ontology and cosmology, kinship and relatedness, gender and sexuality, history and/of anthropology, or legal anthropology. Ongoing collaborations with contemporary Indigenous communities expected. Ph.D or ABD required. Reed is on the semester system with a teaching load of five courses per year; all students write a senior thesis. In your application materials, we welcome a description of how your teaching and scholarship would be suited to the liberal arts college environment.
