Lecturer in the Arts of the Pacific (University of East Anglia)

While people may have see the following on the AAA job center, I thought the following position was worth advertising here on the blog as it is for someone working in the Pacific (and thus Melanesia). I should disclose I held this position for three years (2005-08) and thoroughly enjoyed the intellectual and social environment of the Sainsbury Research Unit and the larger school of World Art Studies at the University of East Anglia. The teaching load is light (by all standards) and there is wide ranging scope for and support for developing one's own research.
