Employment Resources and Professions Available to Social Anthropology Graduates

Post-secondary institutions employ most sociocultural anthropologists where they teach anthropology, sociology, political science, and history, while at the same time doing research. They can also work as researchers for private companies, non-profit organizations, governments, and non-governmental organizations. As well, sociocultural anthropologists write papers and books based on their research and sometimes write research surveys for other researchers.

Private companies will hire sociocultural anthropologists to perform market analysis and research for specific demographics. With this knowledge, marketers can design and manufacture products better suited to target consumers. Others are hired by corporations to analyze work relations and workplace culture, as well as facilitate understanding between people of different cultures involved in joint business ventures.

They can also serve as government-employed mediators to help people of different ethnic and racial groups reach accommodation arising from culture-based misunderstanding. This includes working with the homeless, drug users, and street gangs. They work in urban and regional planning agencies, in senior centers, in community agencies, and public housing projects.

Sociocultural anthropologists can work for international development agencies like the World Bank, the United Nations, Red Cross, or Oxfam. They can also use their knowledge to work as legal assistants and paralegals for private law firms.

A degree in sociocultural anthropology can be used as a stepping-stone for a career in sociology, law, medicine, social work, or journalism.
