The UCLA Department of Anthropology has always taken a broad view of anthropology, maintaining both balance and integration among the four fields (archaeology, biological, sociocultural, and linguistic), which have traditionally characterized the discipline. Many faculty members actively engage in research and teaching in two or more fields, and many hold joint appointments in other departments and schools at UCLA. Our faculty and students are dedicated to resolving fundamental questions that lie at the core of Anthropology as a field of intellectual inquiry. Their work encompasses such topics as the nature of evolutionary processes, human development, emotions and the mind, culture and communicative strategies, health and illness, the development of socio-political complexity across the historical and archeological record, and the impacts of differential access to power in the contemporary world.
The Staff & Academic Payroll Coordinator will have the opportunity to work directly with our inspiring group of graduate students and faculty who are dedicated to resolving fundamental questions that lie at the core of Anthropology as a field of intellectual inquiry and work alongside our devoted staff team who support them and the department in it’s mission.
