This weeks job-openings will highlight some of the more staid and true types of anthropological research, within an applied field of course. Some are more adventurous than others, but all are centered around a specific anthropological topic or field. This also means that there is a requirement that applicants can demonstrate an established commitment to those same topics or anthropological fields. So keep an eye out, you might just land your professional match made in heaven!
