Description
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Fordham University invites applications for the position of full-time, non-tenure-track Lecturer in biological anthropology, starting January 2027. We seek a scholar to teach at the undergraduate level whose scholarship focuses on some aspect of biological anthropology. The candidate should have a demonstrated ability to teach an introductory course covering the broader field, as well as more focused courses aligned with the candidate’s specialization.
Fordham lecturers are participants in the Service Employees International Union Local 200 United.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment. Demonstrated excellence in teaching at the college level is required; an active research and publication program would be appreciated, but is not required. The successful candidate will be located primarily at Fordham College’s Rose Hill campus (in the Bronx) with the possibility of future service and teaching at the Lincoln Center campus (in Manhattan) or in interdisciplinary programs. The initial contract will be for one year, renewable.

Applications should be submitted online at Interfolio (https://apply.interfolio.com/190683) and should include a cover letter, CV, peer and student teaching evaluations, if available, sample syllabi, and the names and contact information for three references.
