Candidates may work on topics including, but not limited to, reproductive outcomes, such as fertility or parental investment in children (e.g. breastfeeding, child mortality, education); reproductive life stages, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause; and/or the social and ecological determinants of reproduction, such as environmental risk, social support, inequality, healthcare access, or communicable disease. Penn State Anthropology prides itself on its integrative research and is interested in hiring a scholar whose work is interdisciplinary and/or integrates across anthropology’s subfields. We welcome candidates with interdisciplinary interests or training in fields including, but not limited to, demography, human biology, epidemiology, ecology, evolutionary medicine, and/or public health.
