An anthropology job is opening at Nazarbayev University -- as well as other opportunities in EurasianStudies and beyond. Please help make sure the information reaches yourfriends/colleagues who could be interested. The posting was delayed, so though it says review of candidates begins on Dec. 1, there is still good opportunity to get an application in, if one acts quickly. See:http://careercenter.aaanet.org/jobs#/detail/5843631http://www.higheredjobs.com/search/details.cfm?JobCode=175822898In the job ads linked above, there is contact information for our Dean,Dr. Daniel Pugh, who is also an anthropologist (archaeologist).There have been a number of other openings in other fields, as well --in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, we are looking to fillsome dozens of positions across the board. The other searches havegenerally proceeded a bit earlier than the anthropology search, and insome fields, the initial review of applicants may already be completed,but if you are an attractive candidate, you should not let thisdiscourage you, because there could still be a chance to get into thecurrent round, and there is some likelihood that there will beadditional rounds.In general, the school is building a Eurasian Studies program, and inmany fields, there is specific interest in candidates with a regionalfocus on Eurasia, broadly understood. In the anthropology department,we have comparatively good coverage of this region among existingfaculty, but this should also not discourage strong candidates,especially if you can show the ability to teach about a sub-field orworld region that is not covered by our existing faculty.For information about the School of Humanities and Social Sciences andits departments, see:http://shss.nu.edu.kz
