"Assistant Professor of Anthropology"

The Department of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is recruiting for a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin in August 2026. We seek a biological anthropologist conducting research at the intersection of human biology and health. The ideal candidate will bring a broad foundation in anthropology to the study of connections between behavior, biology, health, and environment, and will work closely with community groups and/or have an applied focus. Topics might include—but are not limited to—nutrition, reproduction, growth and development, chronic or infectious diseases, microbiomes, or language development. Preference will be given to candidates who have, can develop, or otherwise support research projects based in Charlotte, North Carolina, or the Southeastern United States. Must have Ph.D. in Anthropology (or related field if the primary advisor was an anthropologist) in hand by August 2026.
