Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Postdoctoral Fellowship

[John Machado]

Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Postdoctoral Fellowship. The Cotsen
Institute of Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA) announces a new 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship to begin in the
Fall Quarter of the 2008-2009 school year. The Fellowship is intended
to give promising scholars the opportunity to pursue their own
research and at the same time interact with a large and diverse group
of faculty, graduate students, and affiliated researchers with a wide
range of theoretical and methodological specialties. The Cotsen
Institute faculty are primarily from five departments--Anthropology,
Art History, Classics, History and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures--
with affiliated faculty from a dozen departments on the UCLA campus
(http://www.ioa.ucla.edu).

Applicants will be considered from any research area or theoretical
orientation within archaeology, including topics beyond those
traditionally represented by the five core departments listed above.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach one course each
Spring Quarter, its subject to be determined on the basis of his or
her research interests and departmental needs. Additionally, the
candidate will give one lecture each quarter, either to the Institute
affiliates or the general public.

The total support package is $38,000 for each academic year (term of
residence September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2010) plus medical benefits,
access to UCLA campus resources, and a travel allowance for one
conference airfare and one research-related airfare each year (up to
$1500.00/ year). The PhD must be awarded no later than July 1, 2008.
Application deadline: February 1, 2008. Send letter of application,
curriculum vitae, and contact information for three referees to
