Overview
The Staff Assistant will assist two departments, Anthropology and Religion, as well as support the Program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS). Anthropology is a small- to mid-size department that, in addition to its major, offers four minors, in Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, and Social Justice Anthropology. Many of our faculty maintain connections with other departments and programs, especially WGSS, RCD, and STS, in particular as we do event planning. Faculty have active research agendas in several different countries. Religion is a small but growing department, with faculty teaching and researching across multiple religious traditions and participating in a range of programs across campus like MES, RCD and CVS. We play an active role in general education and our students often double major in areas such as International Relations, History or Community Health. Science, Technology, and Society is an interdisciplinary program that draws on humanities and social sciences approaches to study science and technology in their social context. The program offers a major and minor and is made up of faculty affiliates from across the university including from anthropology, biology, classics, education, engineering, history, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political science, and urban and environmental policy and planning. Experience working for multiple departments is strongly preferred. This can entail an ability to manage many concurrent schedules, assist with event planning in conjunction with other programs, and oversee the smooth operation of a shared departmental space.
