The Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland solicits
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a 12-month term
beginning in July 2014, with a possibility of extension contingent upon
external funding. The research topic is improving understanding of the
sustainability of human-environmental interactions, broadly construed,
with a focus on integrating anthropological, archaeological and
environmental data, and computational modeling. Candidates should have
strong backgrounds in complex adaptive systems, critical transitions,
resilience, and/or evolutionary life history, although other theoretical
approaches will be considered. The successful candidate will be
supervised by Dr. Sean Downey
(www.anth.umd.edu/facultyprofile/Downey/Sean<http://www.anth.umd.edu/facultyprofile/Downey/Sean>).
In addition to conducting
research on the these topics, the successful candidate will prepare and
submit major research proposals, so applications should demonstrate
previous funding success and project ideas or proposals in development.
The candidate must hold a Ph.D. in a related field and have a
demonstrable record of research and publication. Candidates with
excellent writing and technical skills (e.g., R, MatLab, Python, HPC)
are strongly encouraged to apply.
To Apply
Candidates should compile the following documents into a single PDF in
the following order: (1) a letter of intent that details research
interest and proposal ideas, (2) current curriculum vitae, (3) writing
samples (publications and/or grant proposals), and (4) contact
information for three professional references. Electronic submission
only. Please address applications and questions to the search
coordinator, Sarah Morrow (semorrow@xxxxxxx<mailto:semorrow@xxxxxxx>,
301.405.9734<tel:301.405.9734>). Review of
applications will begin immediately and interviews will begin on April
15, 2014. The position will remain open until filled. The University of
Maryland is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer with a
commitment to racial, cultural, and gender diversity. Women and
minorities are encouraged to apply.
