The University of Kentucky Department of Sociology invites applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor faculty position to begin August 15, 2014. The department is seeking a scholar who can contribute to instruction and research in criminology. All criminological specialties will be considered, but we are particularly interested in one or more of the following: juvenile delinquency; gangs; and race, class, and gender in crime and criminal justice. Preference will be given to candidates whose research and teaching add to existing departmental research and teaching strengths (see www.as.uky.edu/Sociology). The successful candidate will teach 2/2 at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in hand at the time of the appointment. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a current curriculum vita, a statement about research and teaching interests and experience, and samples of research to: Claire M. Renzetti, Search Committee Chair, Department of Sociology, 1515 Patterson Office Tower, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506-0027. The statement of research interests should identify the specific emphases of the applicant’s research program and specific research plans and goals. The teaching statement should describe the applicant’s teaching philosophy and pedagogical approaches, as well as specific courses in criminology that the applicant has taught or is prepared to teach. Applicants should also provide the names and contact information for three referees; the Search Committee will request letters of recommendation directly from the referees. Review of applications will begin on July 15, 2013 and continue until the position is filled. The University of Kentucky is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity University that values diversity and is located in an increasingly diverse geographical region. It is committed to becoming one of the top public educational institutions in the country. Women, persons with disabilities, veterans, and members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. I guess it is time to start a new board!

Makes sense to me. Interview and make an early offer. The candidate has no other choice but to take it. It'll help them get the very top person.
I expect the market will begin to start sooner each year as schools attempt to undercut their competition for the most sought after people.

I interviewed there a few years ago and loved it. Sadly, the funding was pulled after all the interviews were conducted...and I'm not a criminologist. I really loved it when I was there for the interview though. Seemed like a strong dept. in a vibrant community. Sigh...

If it's anything like this past year, the group that was hired between October and December were much more competitive (or "sought after") overall than hires in the mid/late spring semester. Seemed that way to me anyway.

Any chance Kentucky will have another non-crim opening? Any inside scoop?

Makes good sense. July 15 gives them a month to review applications before the ASA meetings.

I would be shocked if this job didn't just happen to go to an advanced assistant at another university.
