Michigan Technological University seeks to fill two Tenure/Tenure Track faculty positions in the Department of Social Sciences. I am not on either search committee, so please do not send application material to me personally. Address all official correspondence to the respective search chairs. I will be at the Society for Historical Archaeology annual conference, along with Samuel Sweitz, where we can both answer questions.
We hope to see a diverse group of applicants that may contribute in exciting ways to our graduate and undergraduate programs.
Cheers,
Tim Scarlett
