The Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland solicits applications for a Postdoctoral
Research Associate for a 12-month term beginning in July 2014, with a possibility of extension contingent
upon external funding. The research topic is improving understanding of the sustainability of human-
environmental interactions, broadly construed, with a focus on integrating anthropological, archaeological
and environmental data, and computational modeling. Candidates should have strong backgrounds in
complex adaptive systems, critical transitions, resilience, and/or evolutionary life history, although other
theoretical approaches will be considered. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Sean Downey
(www.anth.umd.edu/facultyprofile/Downey/Sean). In addition to conducting research on the these topics, the successful candidate will prepare and submit major research proposals, so applications should
demonstrate previous funding success and project ideas or proposals in development. The candidate must
hold a Ph.D. in a related field and have a demonstrable record of research and publication. Candidates
with excellent writing and technical skills (e.g., R, MatLab, Python, HPC) are strongly encouraged to apply.
To Apply
Candidates should compile the following documents into a single PDF in the following order: (1) a letter of intent that details research interest and proposal ideas, (2) current curriculum vitae, (3) writing samples (publications and/or grant proposals), and (4) contact information for three professional references. Electronic submission only. Please address applications and questions to the search coordinator, Sarah Morrow (semorrow@umd.edu, 301.405.9734). Review of applications will begin immediately and interviews will begin on April 15, 2014. The position will remain open until filled. The University of Maryland is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer with a commitment to racial, cultural, and gender diversity. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
