Hello,
I'm considering graduate school in anthropology. I'd like to find one
that's friendly towards sociobiology/behavioral ecology/evolutionary
psychology. I also have some sympathy for cultural ecology and in
general materialist explanations. I'm not that interested in the
Boasian tradition and really don't like postmodernism. Does anyone
have any suggestions here?
By the way, what is the job market like right now for Phd.
anthropologists? I've heard it's not good, but I'd be curious to hear
what people say.
talk to your academic advisor or department chair.
"friendly" has nothing to do with it. it will depend on what area of
anthropology and what your undergrad transcript will allow and then
balancing all that up to what you want and who will take you. high end
shcools wont bother if you are not at least a 3.8 gpa or better, you can
find some other schools if you are at a 3.5 or 3.0. if you are trying to
build a list try looking in the back of your favorite texts and articles to
see who is referenced and where they are at (and where their previous
students are at).
money is in the masters level, phd's are over qualified for most everything
but academic tenure.
if you are in the position to be considering a phd you should already know
all this, unless you are a first or second year undergrad in which case you
should be talking with your advisor now about your future plans. if you
wait until you are a senior or a graduate it's too late.
and in case i didnt say it before: talk to your advisor.
one last thing: talk to your advisor.
p.s. if your advisor is not on the same track as you, find one who is and
talk to him.
