The Department of Anthropology at Wellesley College invites applications for a two-year visiting lecturer position (potentially renewable), beginning in August, 2019. The candidate will be responsible for five courses split across two semesters, including an introductory course in socio-cultural anthropology, and an advanced undergraduate course on the theoretical development of the field. Additional teaching assignments are open, but will ideally work with and complement existing departmental offerings (https://www.wellesley.edu/anthropology). Regional/topical focus is open. The position is eligible for full Wellesley College employee benefits. Applicants should plan on having a completed Ph.D. prior to the start of their appointment.
Wellesley College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and we are committed to increasing the diversity of the college community and the curriculum. As a women's liberal arts college, Wellesley strives to fully engage our undergraduate students in the joy, possibilities, and responsibilities of learning. Candidates who believe they can contribute to that goal are encouraged to apply.
A complete application will include the following:
- A 2-3 page cover letter outlining your research activity and teaching interests
- A current C.V.
- Names and contact information for two academic/professional references
- Potential course syllabi (optional)
