Job Description:
Description The Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago invites applicants for an open-rank faculty position (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) in the anthropology of health and medicine, to begin as early as July 1, 2025. We welcome applications from scholars whose empirical, field-based research is grounded in social theory and speaks to questions of broad anthropological significance. We are seeking applicants whose work extends medical anthropology or the anthropology of health and medicine to new domains. These include but are not limited to intersections with:
  • environmental anthropology, including research on toxicity and environmental health;
  • the anthropology of gender and sexuality, including scholarship on gender transition, biopolitics, or reproduction;
  • and digital anthropology, with attention to questions of biometrics, digital imaging, coding, or other forms of technological medicine and public health surveillance.
While applicants working in all geographic regions are welcome, we would be particularly interested in candidates who work in Latin America or with a focus on indigeneity. Novel and innovative methodological approaches are especially encouraged. We seek a candidate eager to participate in the department's and University's academic community. The successful candidate will teach in their area of research, contribute to the anthropology curriculum, and help strengthen ties with other disciplines and academic units. Qualifications Candidates must have earned the PhD prior to the start of appointment. Application Instructions Applicants must apply online at the University of Chicago's Interfolio website at https://apply.interfolio.com/152737 and include: 1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) a research statement, 4) a teaching statement, 5) the names and email addresses of three recommenders, 6) a sample of scholarly writing. Those applying for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor should include one writing sample, such as a dissertation chapter, journal article, or book chapter. Applicants for a tenured position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor should include two writing samples, such as journal articles or book chapters. Consideration of applications will begin on October 1, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled or the search is ended.
