Assistant Professor, Inter-Asian Movements

The Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University seeks a scholar at the Assistant Professor level with a focus on Inter-Asian Movements. Applicants should demonstrate interests in aesthetics, language and texts in translation, religious traditions, visual and/or sonic media, ritual and performance, and/or environmental humanities, that are explored through cross-regional linkages and circulations, and deeper strata of history than that of the modern nation-state within the Asian region. The scholar may come from anthropology and historical anthropology, religious studies, museum studies and other fields of humanistic studies. The scholar must be exemplary in showing how inter-regional, interdisciplinary, and conceptually and methodologically ambitious work may be done to transcend scholarly silos and essentialist identities.
