INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY – NEW YORK, NY
Professor (Open Rank) Near Eastern Art & Arch, Late Prehistoric and Early Historic Periods
The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University, seeks to make an appointment (tenured or tenure-track, rank open) of a scholar with a focus in the archaeology and art of the Near Eastern world, broadly defined, in the late prehistoric and early historic periods, who can blend disciplinary approaches to interpret objects, sites, and landscapes. We are looking for someone with a broad range of interests and a commitment to the study of cultural connections across geographical and chronological lines. We seek an individual of scholarly distinction whose work will benefit from freedom from departmental structures and who will be stimulated by working closely with colleagues in other disciplines, approaches, periods, or geographical areas and who are committed to helping develop the intellectual life of such a community. Applicants with a history of interdisciplinary exchange are particularly welcome. The Institute's graduate program emphasizes individual supervision and research seminars. The faculty is involved in choosing a group of visiting researchers each year.
Applications (letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and list of referees) should be made through the online system at www.nyuopsearch.com/applicants/Central?quickFind=50970. Applicants must have their Ph.D. in hand by June 1st, 2012. Review of candidates will begin on November 15, 2011. For questions or nominations, please email Ms. Kathryn Lawson at kathryn.lawson@nyu.edu.
