Exceptional junior scholars who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching, and service are encouraged to apply. Multiple Postdoctoral Research Associate positions will be filled.
We seek candidates who have demonstrated a capacity for innovative research, engaged scholarship, and cross-disciplinary thinking. Geographic area is open, though some preference will be given to scholars who work on the archaeology of the Mediterranean, Egypt, and/or surrounding regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Time period is open. While the boundaries of the search are flexible, we are especially interested in applicants who can partner with a JIAAW Academic Faculty member who will serve as their mentor during their time at Brown.

Please note that contacting a potential mentor prior to submitting these materials is not a requirement for a successful application. Applications received by February 28, 2025 will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled.
