Brown University invites applications for an assistant or associate professor in the field of Mediterranean or Near Eastern archaeology. Applications are welcome from scholars interested in the complex societies of any part of this broad geographic expanse. Candidates are sought with expertise and interests complementary to current Institute faculty and to Brown resources. Individuals with active fieldwork projects are particularly welcome. 
Candidates must have an outstanding record of scholarly achievement and leadership, as well as a proven record of publication, outreach and service commensurate with their career stage. Excellence in, and commitment to, undergraduate and graduate teaching are essential. The successful candidate will be expected to make major contributions to the ongoing development of the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World. 
All candidates should submit a letter of application and a curriculum vita. Assistant professors should ask that three letters of reference be sent directly to the Chair of the Search Committee. Associate professors should provide five names of referees with up-to-date contact information (including email, if possible); referees will be contacted directly by the Search Committee. Complete applications received by December 1, 2011 will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled.
