DESCRIPTION
The Department of Anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in archaeology. This is a full-time, 9-month appointment beginning August 1, 2025. We seek a scholar with an active research program in zooarchaeology focusing on ancient hunter-gatherer societies. The successful candidate will conduct research in zooarchaeology, mentor PhD and undergraduate students, teach a 2-2 course load including undergraduate and graduate courses in zooarchaeology and anthropology, manage the department’s extensive zooarchaeological collection, and participate in service at the department, college, and university levels.
The Department of Anthropology is comprised of 29 full-time faculty in four distinct programs: cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, nautical archaeology, and terrestrial archaeology. It also features the Center for the Study of the First Americans and the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation, and is closely affiliated with the non- profit Institute of Nautical Archaeology.
The department’s faculty straddle the social sciences and humanities, engaging in quantitative and qualitative research to answer questions about living primates; distant and recent human ancestry; human biology, culture, and genetics; and the technologies that facilitated the global dispersal of our species. The department maintains advanced research laboratories including the Zooarchaeology Lab (with a robust North American comparative faunal collection), Archaeobotany and Palynology Research Labs, Palaeoproteomics and Archaeogenetics Research Labs, the Radiocarbon and Isotope Preparation Lab, the Conservation Research Lab, and the Analytical Archaeology Lab.
With its 18 departments, 34 centers and institutes, 868 faculty, and 19,000 current students, the College of Arts and Sciences is the academic heart of Texas A&M University. Home to Nobel laureates, National Academy members, AAAS Fellows, and more than half of the university’s Distinguished Professors, Arts and Sciences is central to Texas A&M’s mission to develop and transfer new knowledge through research.
The main campus of Texas A&M University in College Station is a public land-grant institution with nearly 75,000 students. It serves undergraduate students who are primarily from the State of Texas, along with a graduate student and faculty body from around the world. It is a member of the Association of American Universities, and its tenure-track faculty are evaluated on their research, teaching, and service records
