Assistant Professor/Museum Director [California State University San Bernardino]

Deadline for applications: October 20, 2014 or until filled.

The Department of Anthropology and the Anthropology Museum at California State University San Bernardino invite applications for a tenure-track assistant professor/museum director position to begin September 2015.  As an assistant professor in anthropology, the successful applicant will be expected to teach a two-thirds load, a combination of museum methods courses and anthropology courses. The successful applicant will have research and teaching interests that complement those of existing faculty.  The teaching load can be reduced through successful external grant activity to support released time for museum activities.  As a museum director, the successful applicant will devote the remaining one-third load to overseeing all aspects of the operation of a small anthropology museum, including (but not limited to) collections management, periodic exhibit preparation, management of community relations, and coordination of volunteers and interns.  The successful applicant will be judged for tenure and promotion in both the assistant professor and museum director roles.  Applicants must have a PhD in anthropology or closely related field and must demonstrate substantial training and/or experience in museum operations.

Applications are required to include: 1) a cover letter describing the applicant’s interests and credentials; 2) a curriculum vitae detailing the applicant’s training and accomplishments in both anthropology and museum studies; and 3) contact information for four professional references who in combination can address the applicant’s skills and experience in both anthropology and museum studies.  California State University San Bernardino is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty.  Applications should be sent to Dr. Peter Robertshaw, Chair, Department of Anthropology, CSUSB, 5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407.

Deadline for applications: October 20, 2014 or until filled. Contact: Dr. Peter Robertshaw, Chair, Department of Anthropology; email: proberts@csusb.edu; 909-537-555
