Junior Faculty Position - Non-Human Primate Behavior

The Biological Anthropology Wing of the Anthropology Department at Harvard University is seeking to make a full-time tenure-track appointment at the assistant or untenured associate professor level in the field of non-human primate behavior, and seeks candidates who will complement the current strengths of the program.

The Biological Anthropology Wing administers two large and successful undergraduate concentrations, Human Evolutionary Biology and Biological Anthropology, hence excellence in undergraduate teaching is a priority. Graduate education in the wing stresses integration of laboratory and field research and the cooperative training and mentoring of Ph.D. candidates. Harvard University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, and applications from women and minorities are particularly encouraged.

Qualifications/Experience: We are particularly interested in candidates whose interests in behavior extend to cognitive evolution, ecology, or physiology, and whose primate behavioral studies are explicitly related to human evolution. A strong doctoral record is required and the Department seeks candidates with exceptional promise as scholars and teachers to offer courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.  Begin July 1, 2009
