The Professorship of Biological Anthropology at Oxford has historically been one of the most prestigious in the country. The University of Oxford wishes to appoint a candidate who can take that tradition forward. To this end the successful candidate will have an international research reputation in Biological Anthropology, involving human genetics, human evolution/palaeoanthropology (either genetic or morphological), or primatology.
The Institute of Biological Anthropology is now merged with the Department of Zoology, and the Professorship is part of the latter Department, while also being affiliated, for academic purposes, to the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography. The Professor would be expected to build Biological Anthropology, and one of his or her primary duties would be to provide teaching and other support for the Human Sciences degree, in which Biological Anthropology is a core subject.
