West Chester University joint appointment in Primatology

Join a vibrant campus community whose excellence is reflected in its diversity and student success. West Chester University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty joint appointment (Psychology and Anthropology/Sociology) in Primatology at the assistant professor level. Candidates must have a PhD in Anthropology or Psychology with specialization in Primatology and Evolution, and an active program of applied research that involves students. Access to an international field site is preferred as is a commitment to engaging undergraduate students in field and/or research experiences that are local or otherwise readily accessible. In addition, candidates will be expected to teach existing courses and laboratories in the areas of Animal Behavior and Biological Anthropology, and to develop new cross-listed courses related to Primatology and Human/Primate Evolution. Ability to teach Introduction to Cultural Anthropology is expected if the candidate holds the PhD in Anthropology, and interest in teaching other core undergraduate classes, such as Statistics, Research Methods, and Introduction to Psychology, is preferred. Completion of the Ph.D. is required before the start of the Fall 2013 semester. We are especially interested in recruiting faculty from under-represented groups.
