University of Colorado tenure-track appointment in biological anthropology

We seek a scholar with a research focus on contemporary human populations and/or applied human biological research.  Teaching responsibilities will include a core introductory course in biological anthropology, upper division courses in areas of expertise, and also a four-field senior level capstone seminar (taught in rotation with other department faculty).

The UCCS Department of Anthropology offers a strong four-field undergraduate curriculum with a developing emphasis on applied anthropology in both teaching and research.  There is currently no graduate program, and faculty typically involve undergraduates in their research and publication.  This will be the sixth tenure-track position in the department.  Teaching load is typically five courses per year.

Applications should include a current curriculum vita, cover letter describing research and teaching experience and interests, and the names of at least three references.  Applicants must have completed the PhD by the time of hire.  Applications should be sent in MS Word format by email or post to Thomas Wynn (twynn@uccs.edu), Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, CO, 80918.  Priority will be given to applications received by October 22, 2012.
