Anthropology of Biomedicine, Africa, and African Diaspora
The Department of Anthropology at Rice University, located in Houston,
Texas, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of
assistant professor to begin July 1, 2021. As part of university-wide
effort to support the newly-created Center for African and African American
Studies (CAAAS), we seek a medical anthropologist and/or STS scholar
focused on race and health or biomedicine in Africa or the African
diaspora. Possible topics could include but are not limited to
African/American biomedicine, environmental racism, and/or (post)genomics.
In addition to this thematic specialization, we are looking for a colleague
that can contribute to teaching theory requirements in our graduate and
undergraduate degrees. We are committed to an expansive understanding of
African and African American studies as a field of research and theoretical
innovation that belongs to the center of our field, not to its margins. In
tandem with our department's strengths in multiscalar approaches,
candidates should have a track record of methodological innovation in
anthropological ethnography. Faculty members are expected to perform
research, publish scholarly articles and books, and to keep up with current
research in the field. They also teach classes at the graduate and
undergraduate level, supervise and grade student work, and serve on
committees within the university, in addition to performing service to the
profession at large.
The position is approved at the Assistant Professor rank, but exceptional
applicants at a more senior level may be considered, subject to university
approval. Candidates must currently have a Ph.D. or complete the Ph.D. by
July 1, 2021. Candidates should submit (a) a cover letter that presents
the candidateâs research, teaching trajectory and future plans, (b) a CV,
(c) two writing samples, and (d) the names and contact information of three
references. All materials should be submitted using Rice Works:
http://jobs.rice.edu/postings/24277. Reference letters will be requested
from candidates on the long list only. Review of applications will begin on
October 15th, 2020, and will continue until the position is filled. Please
address any questions to the Search committee chair, Professor Kamala
Visweswaran, kv18@xxxxxxxx.
Political and Legal Anthropology and/or Political Economy, Africa, and
African Diaspora
The Department of Anthropology at Rice University, located in Houston,
Texas, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of
assistant professor to begin July 1, 2021. As part of a university-wide
effort to support the newly-created Center for African and African American
Studies (CAAAS) at Rice University, we seek a sociocultural anthropologist
who works on political and legal anthropology, economic anthropology,
and/or political economy in relation to contemporary issues in Africa
and/or the African diaspora. Candidates whose work intersects with science
and technology studies are welcome. Candidatesâ research will focus on the
structural and/or historical factors that shape political, legal and
economic conditions globally, including, but not limited to, legacies of
exploitation, racism, and white supremacy. In addition to this thematic
specialization, we are looking for a colleague who can contribute to
teaching requirements in our graduate and undergraduate programs,
including, but not limited to, decolonial, postcolonial, or other critical
approaches to theory. In tandem with our department's strengths, the new
colleague would hold a track record of methodological innovation in
anthropological ethnography. We are committed to an expansive understanding
of African and African diaspora studies as a field of research and
theoretical innovation that belongs to the center of our field, not to its
margins. Faculty members are expected to perform research, publish
scholarly articles and books, and to keep up with current research in the
