The Department of Social Sciences at the University of South Carolina Beaufort invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Sociology beginning in Fall 2012. The Department offers three degree programs: B.S. in Human Services, B.A. in Psychology, and a new B.A. in Sociology. The University of South Carolina Beaufort is the newest and fastest growing baccalaureate degree-granting campus in the USC System. USCB is located in South Carolina's coastal islands, close to Hilton Head Island, Charleston, and Savannah, Georgia.
We seek a candidate who has or will have by Fall 2012 an earned doctorate in a recognized area of sociology. The area of specialization within the discipline is open; however, we prefer a candidate who has teaching experience in core courses such as social theory and research methods. Additionally, candidates with an interest in criminal justice and human services are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will teach a 4-4 course load consisting of required and elective undergraduate courses, supervise undergraduate research, and maintain a program of scholarly research that is commensurate with their teaching load. Depending on expertise and interest, successful candidates will have an opportunity to contribute to the Human Services major and/or offer occasional African-American Studies courses.
Applicants must complete the Academic Personal Information form online at uscjobs.sc.edu and are required to submit a letter of application detailing their interest in the position, an explicit statement of teaching and research interests, curriculum vitae, teaching evaluations (if available), and at least three letters of recommendation. Final candidates will be required to submit official transcripts. The online system permits one file to be attached for each document type so if you have two documents you wish to attach as "Other" you need to save them as one file for upload purposes. Items required which cannot be submitted electronically should be mailed to Chair, Social Sciences Search Committee, USC Beaufort, One University Boulevard, Bluffton, South Carolina 29909. If you have any problems or questions using the on-line system please contact the USCB Human Resources Office at 843-208-8144 for assistance. Position contigent upon available funding.
