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.

The NAISA logo was designed by Jonathan Thunder, a Red Lake Ojibwe painter and digital artist from Minnesota. NAISA members inspired by canoe traditions among their own people sent examples to Thunder, who designed the logo with advice from the NAISA Council. The color scheme was chosen to signify those Indigenous peoples who are more land-based and do not have canoe traditions.
