Paleonet: Two year postdoctoral fellowship-- historical ecology of Chesapeake Bay

[Lockwood, Rowan]

Dear colleagues,

Please help us spread the word! Feel free to contact me (Rowan Lockwood, rxlock at wm.edu) if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Rowan Lockwood
The Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) program at William & Mary seeks applications for a two-year postdoctoral scholar position in the historical ecology of the precolonial Chesapeake. Supported by W&M faculty, the postdoctoral fellow will develop a historical ecological study of shell midden deposits linked to questions of sustainability, traditional ecological knowledge, and biological conservation in the Chesapeake.
The postdoctoral fellow will develop a research and teaching program bridging the social and natural sciences through a study of a Native American community and its relationship with the Chesapeake oyster fishery over the long term. This position offers the successful candidate an opportunity to use her/his skills to lead cutting-edge research and facilitate undergraduate projects while receiving mentorship in professional academic development. The postdoctoral scholar will also teach one upper-level seminar course per academic year, a summer session course, and arrange an environmental speaker series in the second year.
The position offers a competitive salary, research and travel funds, and administrative support. The postdoctoral fellow will be mentored by two William & Mary faculty (Rowan Lockwood, Martin Gallivan) with teaching and research interests in Chesapeake archaeology and marine paleobiology.
For full consideration please submit CV, cover letter, and a diversity statement detailing how the applicant will contribute to diversity in the program and W&M more broadly by the review date, 3/24/21. Additional information and application link may be found online: https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/40741.
Required Qualifications: A PhD in Anthropology (Archaeology specialty preferred) or a closely related discipline (e.g., Paleontology, Historical Ecology) is required by the time of appointment, August 10, 2021. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the progress of many doctoral students, applicants who have scheduled a dissertation defense prior to apportionment date will be considered for the position.
Preferred Qualifications : Teaching expertise/interests at the intersection of the social and natural sciences is preferred, but not necessary.
William & Mary values diversity and invites applications from underrepresented groups who will enrich the research, teaching and service missions of the university. The university is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and encourages applications from women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
