The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University invites applications for a post-doctoral fellow.  
While appropriate training in archaeology, anthropology, and/or art history is required, the nature of an applicant’s specific research interests, geographical and temporal specializations and areas of expertise is left open, though these should be complementary to the present makeup of the Joukowsky Institute.  Special areas of interest could include archaeological science, cultural heritage, or maritime archaeology.  
In addition to pursuing their research, the successful candidate will be expected to teach half time — i.e., one course per semester.  Teaching will be at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; interdisciplinary offerings are desirable.  Applicants must normally have received their Ph.D. from an institution other than Brown within the last five years.  The successful candidate will be expected to make substantive contributions to the ongoing development of the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, such as the organization of reading or working groups, a topical symposium, or another project intended to foster a stimulating intellectual environment in which to pursue research and to develop new interdisciplinary connections.  This will be a one-year position, beginning on July 1, 2011. 
All candidates should submit a letter of application, a list of proposed courses, and curriculum vitae by April 15, 2011.  Applicants should arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted by the application deadline. Applications received by April 15, 2011 will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled.

Brown University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the International Humanities. The Department of Anthropology and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies solicit applications from a scholar with an archaeological or material culture approach to conquest and early colonialism in Latin America. The successful applicant will have an active archaeological research program focused on early colonial contexts in Latin America. Methodological expertise within archaeology or a related discipline is open, though the successful candidate will show evidence of an innovative interdisciplinary approach and will ideally have experience with primary historical texts and visual culture from their region of research. The successful candidate will teach two courses a year. Demonstrable teaching ability is vital. Courses will focus on archaeological and interdisciplinary approaches to the conquest and early colonial period of the Latin America, contemporary problems in Latin American historical archaeology, as well as courses that reflect the applicant’s specific topical and regional expertise.
International scholars are strongly encouraged to apply, though fluency in English is essential. Dissertation must be completed by July 1, 2011. This two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship is not renewable. Candidates should send a letter of application describing research agenda, teaching interests, and potential course offerings, along with a curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of three referees. Review of applications will begin January 1, 2011. The appointment will be effective July 1, 2011. For further information or to apply, write to:

The History Channel requested that we share the following announcement:
We are looking for a male co-host, ages 35-55 for a premium cable show that focuses on American History, Mysteries and Secrets. Our host should be a “believable believer,” someone who can challenge traditional scientific and historical methods. This person should bring a fresh perspective to the audience and the team that will allow the series to take unexpected turns i.e. conversations with numerologists, channelers etc. On the other hand, one of the important qualities that he should possess is the ability to not be simply a believer, but also “speak with mathematical and scientific authority” and be able to converse with other members of the team on their own terms. We are looking for someone who can convince our more traditional hosts to rethink their position. He should also be flexible enough to be convinced that he is wrong at times. Finally the host should be smart, playful, a strong  communicator and have a good sense of humor.
Having one of the following is a must:
Advanced Degree
Military Background
Government agency background
Investigator
Published Author, online or other
Archeology background
No actors please we are looking for real people.
If you or anyone you know fits this description and may be interested, please have them contact me as soon as possible. Also, please feel free to post this on your website or pass this message along to anyone you feel may be appropriate. Thank you and I hope to hear from you shortly.
In your response, be sure to include a recent photograph and a short paragraph explaining why you are interested and right for the show.
