Assistant Professor / Associate Professor / Professor of Anthropology (Open Rank)

The Department of Anthropology at Columbia University invites applications for an open-rank faculty position (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor) in the sociocultural anthropology of Asia, to begin as early as July 1, 2025.

We welcome applications from scholars with established and ongoing empirical research programs in any region of Asia (including East, South, Central and Southeast Asia), coupled with a strong theoretical agenda that would complement the interests and areas of expertise of our current faculty. We encourage applicants with a commitment to the discipline and who engage multi-and interdisciplinary questions and methods as well. Topical and theoretical fields are open.

We seek a candidate who will be eager to assume an active role in the life of our department, contribute courses in their areas of expertise as well as to the shared anthropology curriculum, and partake of the many adjacent and interdisciplinary programs in which anthropologists participate at Columbia.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree and should have a demonstrated record of publication, and strong teaching experience (ideally) at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. For questions concerning the position, please email Jeanne Roche (jh3834@columbia.edu).
