ZOOARCHAEOLOGY OR VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY

The College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University seeks to fill a new
junior level, tenure-track position in either zooarchaeology or vertebrate
paleontology, with a preference for Plio-Pleistocene Africa. We expect
applicants to be proficient in vertebrate paleontology and the analysis of
animal bones from archaeological sites. Other desirable skills include
paleoecology, taphonomy, isotopic analysis of animal bones, and a
familiarity with hominid paleontology. Ongoing fieldwork with an
orientation toward multidisciplinary, team-based field and laboratory work
is important. Applicants should indicate whether they prefer their home to
be in the department of anthropology or the department of geological
sciences. The candidate will be expected to teach a normal undergraduate
and graduate load. The successful candidate is expected to maintain a close
research relationship with the Center for Research into the Anthropological
Foundations of Technology (CRAFT), a research center of Indiana University
focusing on the prehistoric origins and evolution of human technology and
adaptation. The Center provides support for post-doctoral fellows, graduate
assistants, faculty, and associated research scientists.

         Ph.D. must be in hand before August 15, 2002. Fieldwork experience,
evidence of external grant support, and published articles in peer-reviewed
journals are required. Interested candidates should send a statement of
research and teaching interests, a curriculum vita, and a list of at least
five referees with their full contact information (mailing address,
telephone number, and email address). Deadline for applications is December
1, 2001 to receive full consideration; however, the position will remain
open until filled. Please address application to Prof. Nicholas Toth,
Co-Director CRAFT Research Center, 419 N. Indiana Avenue, Bloomington, IN
47408, USA. Inquire via email to Prof. Kathy Schick, Co-Director CRAFT and
Search Coordinator at kaschick@indiana.edu.

         Indiana University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
