The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World (JIAAW) at Brown University invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate in Archaeology and the Ancient World. 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. Such common ground can include shared or complementary methodological expertise, geographic/temporal focus, theoretical interests, and/or past or future research collaboration. Applicants must have normally received their doctorate within the last five years, and the Ph.D. must be in hand prior to July 1, 2025.
In addition to pursuing their research, successful candidates will be expected to teach one course per semester. Teaching may be at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; interdisciplinary offerings are desirable. Historically, successful postdocs have advanced the mission of the JIAAW not only through their research and teaching, but by organizing reading or working groups, organizing small conferences, inviting speakers, and initiating new interdisciplinary or community connections.
These will be two-year positions (non-renewable) beginning on July 1, 2025.
All candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae , short descriptions of 3 proposed courses (150-300 words each), a statement (150-300 words) of their experience and/or ideas for prioritizing diversity and inclusion in their teaching and research, and contact information for three references by February 28, 2025 . The letter of application should identify a potential faculty mentor (or mentors) from among the JIAAW Academic Faculty . 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.
Please submit application materials online at There is no need to provide hard copies of application materials for those that have already been submitted electronically.
