AnthroJobs of the Week, 7 October 2017

The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) in Alexandria, VA, is seeking a PhD-level social or behavioral scientist with a background in qualitative methods. Both early and mid-career applicants are welcome. IDA is a federally funded research and development center supporting the US Department of Defense and other federal agencies that require rigorous and objective analysis of national security issues. IDA staff work with policy makers, so although Department of Defense experience is not required, it is helpful. The closing date is 27 October.

The AnthroJobs of the Week blog typically does not post academic jobs, but let’s be flexible. In support of a new Place, Space, and Adaptation PhD program in anthropology that integrates geographic perspectives and techniques, the Department of Anthropology at Colorado State University invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor of Anthropology or Geography, to begin August 16th, 2018. Candidates should be anthropologists or geographers who specializes in contemporary human health and well-being in the context of global environmental and/or social change.

Candidates who integrate biological, cultural, and geographic perspectives into their research and teaching are preferred, including those who do this from an evolutionary perspective. Candidates need to have a PhD in anthropology, geography, or a related discipline at the time of appointment.
