Title:  Open-Rank Professorship in Human Biology and Physiology

School: Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University

The Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University
is seeking to make one or more full-time appointments at either the
tenure-track or tenured level in human biology and physiology. This
area includes any aspect of physiology such as energetics, nutrition,
the microbiome, disease ecology, life history, and evolutionary
medicine. Applicants' interests should be explicitly related to human
evolution, and we encourage candidates whose research integrates
laboratory and field components. The appointment could begin as early
as July 1, 2014.

Basic Qualification: Doctorate in Anthropology, Biology or related
discipline required by expected start date.

Additional Qualifications: The Department administers a large and
successful undergraduate concentration in Human Evolutionary Biology,
hence excellence in undergraduate teaching is a priority. A strong
research program, including the ability to offer graduate courses, is
also expected. Our Doctoral program stresses integration of laboratory
and field research and the cooperative training and mentoring of PhD
candidates.
