The University of Oklahoma is engaged in a projected multi-year cluster hire to expand expertise in cancer research on the Norman campus to support of the mission of the University’s Stephenson Cancer Center (which has faculty at both our Norman campus and at the nearby Oklahoma City Health Sciences Center). Complementing recent growth at the Health Sciences Center, this year we will be adding new faculty lines in Anthropology, Economics, and Social Work on the Norman campus. These individuals will join the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at Stephenson Cancer Center and will be expected to work to develop funded research to improve cancer outcomes. The Stephenson Cancer Center provides a rich environment in which to develop a research career, including seed funding, shared resources, and established excellence in community-based cancer prevention and control research.
The appointment in Anthropology will be made at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin on August 16, 2022. The ideal candidate will be experienced in the use of ethnography to investigate the social determinants of health and/or the experience of cancer care. They are particularly interested in scholars who focus on the ways racial and/or class inequalities intersect with the risk for and experience of cancer. The successful candidate will also be expected to demonstrate a strong foundation in anthropological theory and a record of scholarly excellence. Geographic area is open. Teaching load is 2/2, but they expect the faculty member to buy out of some teaching through grant support. The department’s faculty represents the four fields of the discipline and this new hire will ideally help to integrate teaching and research across the sub-disciplines, while contributing to existing strengths in medical anthropology, Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS), and collaborative community-based research. They strongly encourage women and scholars from historically underrepresented groups to apply.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology in hand by start date, and an established record of high-quality research and publications. The selected candidate will be expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses, develop a strong funded research program, direct graduate research, demonstrate evidence of successful research productivity, and exhibit a commitment to service to the department, cancer center, university, and discipline.
