The Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor with tenure position in the anthropology of health, disease and illness. We are seeking candidates who advance anthropological thinking through an empirically grounded research agenda and who can deepen engagements with adjacent health research disciplines. In particular, we invite candidates whose research on health, disease and illness is deeply informed by feminist theory and the study of gender and sexuality and whose work has demonstrated potential in contributing to wider debates in social science and medicine, including, but not limited to: disease ontology and the politics of family and neighborhood; transformations of care in health systems; affliction, toxicity, and other forms of chronic violence and interlocking oppressions. We are particularly interested in candidates with regional specialization in Africa, but candidates whose work is anchored in feminist theory, and gender and sexuality studies in other regions are also encouraged to apply.

A Ph.D. is required, but we will accept applications from doctoral students expected to fulfill Ph. D degree requirements by July 1, 2025.

Applications should include a cover letter; a CV (5 pages maximum); a statement of research interests (3 pages maximum) and a statement of teaching and service (2 pages maximum); an article or chapter length writing sample (approx. 35 pages), and the names of three referees. All application material should be submitted online via Interfolio by November 24, 2024. Review of applications will begin thereafter and continue until the position is filled. Please get in touch with Dr. Clara Han, Chair of Search, at clarahan@jhu.edu if there are any questions.
