[ecrea] Postdoctoral Fellowship Announcement

Fri Aug 21 15:30:56 GMT 2009



Please see this announcement for a postdoctoral position. Candidates
with expertise in such areas as media work with youth would be very
welcome!



Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity

The Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida is
seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow. The successful candidate will have
research interests in the broad area of education and learning,
encompassing work with youth in informal and non-school settings
(including museums), and community development efforts involving youth,
whether in the U.S. or abroad. Candidates working in the application of
archaeology or cultural heritage in educational settings are also
encouraged to apply. The position will start January 2010, extending
through July 2011.

Applicants must have the doctorate in hand by time of appointment,
awarded no earlier than 2006 and no later than Dec. 1, 2009. Preference
for the Ph.D. in Anthropology; candidates with degrees in other
disciplines should demonstrate their familiarity with anthropological
approaches. The Fellow will teach two courses a year, one expected to be
a graduate seminar related to her/his specialty, and will conduct
her/his own research, collaborate with other faculty in the department,
and work toward seeking external funding opportunities. We are
especially interested in applicants who can contribute to USF's current
strategic initiatives, which include global literacy, interdisciplinary
inquiry, and community engagement. In addition, the successful candidate
will work with department faculty to develop cooperative projects with
the USF College of Education and other departments.

The USF Department of Anthropology is a national leader in Applied
Anthropology, and will give preference to candidates whose research has
applied or policy potential. Interested candidates are encouraged to
visit the department's website: http://anthropology.usf.edu/. In
particular, we hope that applicants will find ways to complement (but
not duplicate) work done in the Alliance for Applied Research in
Anthropology and Education:
http://web3.cas.usf.edu/main/depts/ANT/AAREA/. Salary will be $45,000
annually (12-month appointment) and the fellow will be eligible to
purchase health insurance at a competitive rate. Applications (due
October 1) should include:

*       A complete CV, including teaching/research experience and other
positions held
*       A letter of interest, outlining research and teaching interests
*       No more than one publication (if available)
*       Names and contact information of two references

Only electronic applications will be accepted, and should be emailed to
Dr. Rebecca Zarger, (rzarger /at/ cas.usf.edu).
