Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Department of Anthropology, seeks a tenure-track professor at the Assistant or Associate level in cultural anthropology beginning Fall 2012.  IUPUI is Indiana’s premier urban university and is located in downtown Indianapolis in close proximity to state and city agencies and a number of cultural institutions.  The campus consists of several professional schools, along with the School of Liberal Arts, and the institution has a long-standing commitment to the values of civic engagement and to university-community partnerships.  We are particularly interested in candidates whose research, scholarship and teaching address such topics as race and ethnicity, transnational migration and immigration to the US, and diasporas.  Our curriculum emphasizes applied anthropology and in addition to undergraduate teaching, the ideal candidate will contribute his or her expertise to a relatively new MA program in Applied Anthropology.  The school and the department have explicitly endorsed efforts to increase the diversity of its ranks, and accordingly, candidates from groups currently under-represented in the school are encouraged to apply.  Successful candidates will have worked in multicultural settings and among diverse student populations.  We seek a scholar who can also demonstrate success in having served as a mentor and role model, particularly to minority students.  PhD is required at time of application.  Applicants who are at the level of Associate Professor will be expected to have an active program of research, a strong record of peer-reviewed publications and a history of external funding.  Applications received by January 15, 2012 will be given priority.  Send vita, letter of application and the names and contact information for three references to Professor Susan Hyatt, Chair of the Search Committee, Department of Anthropology, 413e Cavanaugh Hall, 425 University Blvd, Indianapolis, IN  46202 or via email to suhyatt@iupui.edu.  IUPUI is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution.  Individuals who require a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in the application process must notify Dr. Hyatt at the address above or by telephone at (312) 278-4548, a reasonable time in advance.
