• Once again, VAP who fits the description.
• Does anyone know what exactly "tenure-track instructor" means here? No other "instructors" are listed on their faculty page

I havent heard anything. (April 8)

- nothing, but I'm thinking it looks hopeless at this point... (April 8)

No idea. I can see in the application portal that it has been modified several times. It is also no longer on the UA job website, so I assume they have received enough applications and/or notified some people of long-listing.

Don’t panic. Review of applications is still underway (April 10).

Anyone end up hearing anything about this?

-still nothing (April 25) X 2

Still nothing (May 4) and I wasn't one of the x2 on April 25. Given that it's been eight weeks since the deadline, I wonder if it's safe to assume that the search has advanced and that none of us on the Wiki were shortlisted.

Also have not heard anything and not one of the x2 on April 25. It seems like there is an insider keeping an eye on this post. It would be nice to hear something about the search, either way.

• Does anyone know if this posting is rigged? There is currently a Visiting AP there who fits this description.
  • I don't know for sure but given the posting date is incredibly close to the closing date I am inclined to believe it will probably go to that visiting AP eventually.
  • I thought the same thing when I looked at the faculty listings on their site.
  • While I also thought that, note that the date is actually just when REVIEW BEGINS, not when apps are closed. So it may just be that they are trying to move quickly with this later search. Regardless, it could go to the VAP &/or have 100+ applicants due to the lack of jobs.
    
• Virtual interview requested (11/16/20)
  • Well, that was quick. Thanks for the update, since god knows I won't be formally rejected for months and it will be radio silence until then.
    

• Virtual job talk requested (11/21/20)
  
• Received email that search was concluded (01/04/21)
  • $20 says it went to the internal candidate. Also how polite of them to only send rejections to people who interviewed. I'm getting so tired of these rigged searches and uncommunicative committees.

fSummary of position

The Department of Anthropology in the University of New Hampshire’s College of Liberal Arts invites applications for a tenure-track position in biological anthropology at the Assistant Professor level beginning August 2021. We seek a broadly trained biological anthropologist with an active research agenda in the biological consequences of inequality, racial and gender disparities in terms of health and resource access, and social (in)justice. The ideal candidate will have expertise in forensics and/or bioarchaeology. This position requires teaching 2 undergraduate courses per semester, including lab-based courses in bioarchaeology and/or forensic anthropology and topical courses in their area of expertise. Preference will be given to candidates who work and have the ability to teach across subfields, especially archaeology or medical anthropology. Geographic area of expertise is open.

The university aims to actively nurture and expand our dynamic and multidisciplinary learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives, life experiences and cultural backgrounds pursue goals with mutual respect and a shared spirit of inquiry. The ideal candidate will show evidence of their commitment to diversity and social justice and an ability to work with faculty, staff, students, and community groups of varied backgrounds, not limited to socioeconomic status, gender, sexuality, disability, age, race, or ethnicity. Advancing diversity and dialogue around social (in)justice (both in the past and present) is of vital importance for our Department and the University of New Hampshire.

Minimum job qualifications

Doctoral degree in anthropology with a focus on biological anthropology, forensics, bioarchaeology or closely related field. Ability to teach introductory biological anthropology, lab-based bioarchaeology and/or forensic anthropology courses, and other broadly appealing topical courses using hands-on, active-learning approaches that avail students to more advanced research and career opportunities; evidence of teaching effectiveness (ideally with at least one course as sole instructor); desire and ability to contribute to the growth and excellence of an undergraduate-only program and strengthen links among departmental interests and teaching in archaeology, biological anthropology, and medical anthropology; and desire and ability to educate anthropology students with either academic or applied career goals. Must show a demonstrated commitment to collaboratively working with and promoting excellence among diverse communities within and external to the university.

Additional application information

Applications should include: (1) Cover letter discussing research and teaching experiences, (2) Curriculum vitae, (3) Additional Teaching Materials: syllabus for at least one prospective course in candidate’s area of expertise, (4) Teaching Evaluations: course evaluations and/or other evidence of teaching effectiveness, (5) Other: A statement on experiences with and commitments to diversity (max 500 words), (6) Contact information of three referees to provide confidential letters of recommendation. References will be contacted at the time of application.

Cover letters should be directed to the Search Committee Chair, Dr. Eleanor Harrison-Buck. Questions should be directed to the Anthropology Administrative Assistant, Emerson Doiron (emerson.doiron@unh.edu).

The deadline for applications is February 1, 2021. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom with the possibility of subsequent on-campus interviews.

• Heads up that there is a lecturer at UNH with these exact qualifications. I contacted the department with some questions and tried to gauge whether it was an internal hire, especially since they are requiring letters upfront and it feels like virtually every posting this year has been for an internal hire and a complete waste of time. They are claiming it is an national search to expand their biological anthropology offerings but I'm not convinved. Also they said that they can request letters after the initial screening, so it doesn't seem like letters are actually required at the time of application.
• I was a bioanth lecturer there before (yes, I know my IP address is visible) and I was not treated well. I am sitting out this application, even though my qualifications are exactly as described.
  • Can you elaborate? Was it the UNH climate, administration, anth faculty, etc? I'm trying to decide whether or not I should bother to apply (leaning towards no but trying to get as much info as possible).
  • Without going into exact details (such as year of the incidents or what happened) for fear of potential retaliation, it was a combination of all those factors. UNH was doing a particularly concerted union busting effort at the time, and I'm glad they had not succeeded at that point, as I had to call on my union support to halt various actions against me that would have violated the rules/contract stipulations for lecturers. My efforts were *robustly* fought against by the then chair. When the administration determined that my contract was not up for renewal (which I was expecting--it was a one year contract), I did not object in the slightest. The current chair is not the person I worked under, and I actually like Dr. Harrison-Buck very much, but I would be surprised if the overall power structure, both internal to and outside of the department, had changed much.
  • Wow that sounds like a nightmare! Thank you so much for letting me know.
• Rejection email 2/12/21
• (2/12) Invitation to Zoom interview from department chair received. x2
• Anyone heard anything after the Zoom interviews? (4/2)
  • Heard it through the grapevine that campus visit was this past week.
  • Bummer. Thanks for the update, though!

• looks like this posting is also written for a visiting lecturer already in the department. It seems like every posting this year is for an inside person. Sigh.
  • I applied anyway. Partly because they asked for less materials than that U of Louisville job and it is relatively easy to prepare. Partly because this job ad is written in a less specific way so maybe we have a chance?
  • ^^ me too with the same logic.
  • Would be crazy if they hired the current lecturer.. NO RECORD
    • Don't be an asshole. (x2)
  • Any updates?? (Jan 4 2021)
    • None here (01/05/21)
    • None here as well. Will probably take a bit longer due to the holidays. (01/05/21)
    • Letters of recommendation requested (1/14/21)

The successful candidate will be expected to have a strong commitment to both graduate and undergraduate teaching and training. Teaching responsibilities will include six courses per year, including Introduction to Biological Anthropology and Human Adaptation and Variability, as well as new (more specialized) courses related to their own research area.

As a four-field department, we are particularly interested in candidates whose research interests and expertise complement those of other faculty in our department as well as intersect with questions and topics of broad anthropological significance. An interest in establishing connections with interdisciplinary programs in Tulane’s School of Liberal Arts, such as environmental studies, gender and sexuality studies, and Africana Studies, is also strongly desired.

The mission of the Department of Anthropology is to provide undergraduate and graduate instruction in anthropology and to produce innovative research and scholarship. Key to our research and teaching mission is maintaining integration and balance among anthropology’s four fields: biological, cultural, and linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Through research and publication, and the teaching and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students, we strive to advance and disseminate knowledge of the human condition and an appreciation of modern cultural, biological, and linguistic diversity. http://tulane.edu/liberalarts/anthropology/
