Curator of Ethnology, Denver Museum of Nature and Science

From the AAA job page:

The Department of Anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science seeks a socio-cultural anthropologist with an active research program to serve as the next curator of ethnology. The area of expertise is open, though in keeping with the Museum’s traditional focus and its collection strengths, experience with the peoples and material culture of the Western Interior of North America is strongly preferred.

The successful candidate is expected to conduct and publish original grant-funded research based on both fieldwork and existing DMNS collections, to curate the Museum’s ethnology collections, and to develop education and exhibition initiatives in collaboration with Museum staff. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment.

Close Date: Open Until Filled

To apply, send letter of application, curriculum vitae and the names, addresses, and contact information for three references to: Dr. Stephen E. Nash, Chair, Department of Anthropology, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver CO 80205-5798. “No phone calls please”

Review of applications will begin November 1, 2006 though the position will remain open until filled. Interviews of qualified candidates will be conducted, in part, at the AAA meetings in San Jose in mid-November.
