Job Description: 

The Department of Anthropology at Texas A&M University invites
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in ancient
genetics/genomics beginning August 2015. We seek an energetic scholar
with an active research program in molecular anthropology/archaeology
and strong records of publishing in top-tier venues and participating in
sponsored research. While geographic specialization is open, preference
will be given to candidates who use ancient genetics to investigate
evolution, dispersal, and migration in an archaeological context, and
who can cooperate with existing faculty investigating these problems
in the department and the department's Center for the Study of the
First Americans.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach two courses in
anthropology each semester ranging from introductory and upper-level
undergraduate classes to graduate seminars; conduct research in the area
of ancient genetics/genomics; advise and mentor students; and participate
in service to the department, college, and university.

Minimum qualifications: Applicants are required to have a PhD in hand
by 2014 or earlier, demonstrated experience in ancient DNA analysis
either at the doctoral or post-doctoral level, and ability to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses in anthropology. Post-doctoral
research in an ancient DNA laboratory, prior teaching experience, an
active field research program, research publications, and success in
obtaining grants for research will be considered as strengths in the
search process. Applicants are encouraged to articulate how they may
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community
through their research, teaching and/or service.

Review of applications will begin November 1, 2014 and continue until
the position is filled. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV
and contact information for three references preferably as a single
pdf file by email or mail to Dr. Ted Goebel, Chair, Anthropological
Genetics Search Committee, Department of Anthropology, Mailstop 4352,
Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4352 (goebel@tamu.edu).
