One of the positions will be a tenure-track appointment at the rank of assistant professor. The other will be a tenured appointment at the rank of associate or professor. Topical areas of specialization might include, but are not limited to the following: health and environmental justice; racialized geographies of pollution and health; indigenous approaches to sovereignty, health, and environmental protection; immigration, health, and the environment; race, colonialism, and medical and/or environmental science; imperialism and/or militarism, race, health, and the environment; and institutions (e.g., prisons), health, and environmental justice. We are also interested in candidates whose research draws on innovative methodologies and theoretical perspectives, ones that can speak across the humanities, interpretive social sciences, and the life and environmental sciences.

The teaching load is two courses per semester, and the successful candidate will be expected to advise honors theses. Any appointment with tenure will be contingent upon a positive tenure review.

POSITION DESCRIPTION
The UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics (ISG) invites applications for a social scientist, humanist, legal, or policy scholar with an innovative research program in the area of public engagement with biology and biotechnology. Our conception of public engagement is broad, running the gamut from law, policy, and governance to science communication, public understanding, and participation. We are particularly interested in scholars working in international or comparative modes and/or who creatively engage issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion through their scholarship and teaching. We are seeking to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor rank to begin in Fall of 2022.
The Institute for Society and Genetics is housed within the College of Letters and Science, in the Division of Life Sciences at UCLA. Its faculty consists of social scientists, biological scientists and humanities scholars focused on innovative, critical research questions that intersect biology and society. Institute faculty members are generally cross-appointed with another department on campus, and develop research programs that transcend traditional disciplinary lines. Current domains of expertise within ISG include: evolutionary biology, gene-environment interaction, metabolism, big data and biology, critical race theory, Indigenous sovereignty, history, philosophy, and sociology of the biomedical sciences, antimicrobial resistance, the carceral state, precision health, and bioethics. Beyond research, faculty teach in the Institute’s interdisciplinary undergraduate major (Human Biology and Society B.S. and B.A.) and supervise post-doctoral scholars and other student researchers, and contribute to outreach and public symposia, workshops and other events.
ISG seeks to expand its research profile in the social, ethical, philosophical, historical, or legal/policy-oriented analysis of biology, biotechnology, and biomedicine. Specific disciplinary field is open, but candidates must demonstrate training and research expertise in social science, the humanities, or law. Preference will be given to candidates who complement current expertise of the ISG faculty (see https://socgen.ucla.edu/faculty/#.core-faculty) and who demonstrate serious engagement with scientific or technical work or potential for collaboration with scientists and engineers. Successful candidates must demonstrate a commitment to teaching and mentoring students from underrepresented and underserved populations, or demonstrate an interest in campus-wide or departmental programs that provide research and professional development opportunities for a diverse student body. We particularly encourage applications from women and individuals from ethnicities and identities historically excluded in some institutions of higher education.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or J.D. by the time of appointment. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV with publication list, a research statement, a statement of teaching, a statement of contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and contact information of three potential letter writers.

University of Northern British Columbia: Asst Professor Anthropology Global Indigenous Heritage[]
The Department of Anthropology at the University of Northern British Columbia invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track, Assistant Professor in Social-Cultural Anthropology with a focus on Global Indigenous Cultural Heritage (regional specialization open). By Indigenous we mean the earliest known inhabitants of a territory that underwent colonization, whether recently or in the more distant past. Global Indigenous populations might include: the Sami of Scandinavia and Russia, the foragers and reindeer-herding populations of northern Russia and Eurasia, the Mayan, Quechua or other Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the Maori and other peoples of the Pacific, or populations such as the Ju/’Hoansi of southern Africa. As an institution committed to fostering an inclusive and transformative learning environment, UNBC values high quality and innovation in both teaching and scholarship. We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate who will complement and work well with colleagues both within and beyond the discipline of anthropology. UNBC privileges an interdisciplinary ethos and we seek a candidate with a demonstrated commitment to interdisciplinary research, as well as a willingness and ability to teach in other departments in our Faculty. A collegial and collaborative approach to work in the department, the Faculty of Indigenous Studies, Social Sciences and Humanities, and the University, such as in teaching and service, is essential. The proposed start date is August 1, 2022.
The UNBC Department of Anthropology offers undergraduate degrees and opportunities for graduate teaching and supervision via the Interdisciplinary Studies program.

Experience in applied anthropology, especially community-based research, is an asset. As anthropology is, in essence, comparative, and given the UNBC anthropology department’s engagement with the Northern British Columbia community, an additional strength of the desired candidate is the willingness to bridge their work being done globally with the challenges faced locally.
Applicants for this position should hold a Ph.D. and present evidence of an established research program with the potential of future publications and research funding. The demonstrated ability to incorporate non-Western methods and ontologies is also welcomed as this approach would complement and extend existing strengths within the Department of Anthropology.
