Dear Colleagues,

please see the attached job descriptions for two new positions in
anthropology at Heidelberg. We are particularly interested in
candidates who have completed their PhD, and are focused on one or
more of the following fields.

- Asia
- Oceania
- Human-Nature interactions, Ecology
- Heritage, Performance, Media Anthropology and Anthropology of Art
(especially practical aspects)
- Islam

I am especially personally interested in Performance Studies and
Islam, and would strongly support qualified candidates in those
fields.

Teaching and administration are central to this position and
therefore, although we will consider candidates with limited skills
in German, they will be distinctly disadvantaged in comparison to
German-speakers.

Please do encourage qualified candidates to apply. The deadline is
very soon: February 10th!

with best wishes,
bo

"For those who have abandoned tradition, there is no hope of
returning to being "traditional." Because the essential condition of
being traditional is to be unaware of the fact that one has a
tradition." -- Al Ghazali (1058-1111)
