Assistant or Associate Professor in Archaeology of Liberation

The Cornell University Department of Anthropology invites applications for an assistant or associate professor in the archaeology of liberation, with all its promises, possibilities, and complexities. We seek an archaeologist whose practice includes collaborative approaches that contribute to public and descendant community engagement with the past and our collective imagination of a just future. Research interests might include, but are not limited to, archaeologies of exploitation and resistance; forced migration; enslavement and emancipation; the materiality of coloniality and anti-colonial movements; heritage and its contestations; Indigenous survivance and resurgence; archaeological landscapes of violence, racialization, and refusal; and reparative engagements with material collections. Geographical area and technical specializations are open. The Cornell Institute of Archaeology and Material Studies (CIAMS), a supporting unit for this search, is eager to welcome to campus candidates who contribute to public engagement in the practice of archaeological research.

This search is being undertaken under the auspices of Cornell's Critical Inquiry into Values, Imagination, and Culture (CIVIC) initiative, the Provost's Taskforce for Radical Collaboration in the Arts and Humanities. CIVIC's "Humanities and Public Life" focus emphasizes humanistic approaches to the critical questions of democracy, representation, expression, individuality, difference, citizenship, and inequality (information can be found at:https://provost.cornell.edu/academic-initiatives/radical-collaboration/civic/).
