Understanding humanity in context

From prehistoric humanity all the way to contemporary cultural diversity, anthropologists engage with a wide range of issues and phenomena that affect individual and public life.

Waterloo's Anthropology research and teaching expertise covers three major sub-fields of the discipline: socio-cultural anthropology, archaeological anthropology, and biological (physical) anthropology.

We are seeking applications for two positions in our Department:

A tenure-track archaeological anthropologist with an active program of field research either in southern Ontario or transferable to there, ideally with experience in archaeological heritage resource management or digital applications within archaeology.

A tenure-track or tenured anthropologist with expertise in the Anthropology of Religion, and with a research focus on Contemporary Islam in Asia, preferably outside the Middle East. The candidate will also teach at least one course in Islam for the Department of Religious Studies.
