I will be on sabbatical for the 2024-2025 Academic Year and not currently taking PhD students 

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Oregon admits a small number of graduate students each year therefore the most competitive applicants will have:

• Carefully researched the Anthropology Department webpage to learn about our program and potential graduate committee members
• Reached out to their potential advisor(s) to discuss their interest in the program in advance
• Indicators of prior academic success
• Archaeological experience in both the field and/or lab
• Experience and/or interest in Southeast Asia
