You will have a proven track record of securing significant grant funding and leading high quality externally funded research projects. The successful candidate will be expected to have a range of interests and to be highly active in research publication that strengthens or complements those in the Department. You will also have a commitment to delivering high quality teaching within the broad field of social anthropology, and to be capable of teaching the subject to undergraduate and postgraduate students from a wide range of backgrounds.    

Candidates must hold a PhD in social or cultural anthropology. You will have an internationally recognised research record and a clear programme of anticipated research activity for the coming years. You will have excellent teaching skills and an interest in promoting knowledge exchange.
