Frostburg State University, Department of Sociology, seeks applications for a full-time, tenure-track Instructor/Assistant Professor of Sociology, available fall 2012. Position includes USM benefits package.
RESPONSIBILITIES: Teach four courses per semester to include Classical Social Theory, Contemporary Social Theory, and Introduction to Sociology. At least one social theory class must be taught online. The successful applicant would be expected to develop at least one new course in the next few years in an area of his/her choosing. Work closely with students, especially those in the sociology club. Commitment to research/publishing is expected.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. in Sociology with a specialization in sociological theory. ABD will be considered for appointment at the rank of Instructor. Evidence of teaching effectiveness also required.
Frostburg State University is located in the Appalachian highlands (elevation 2,000 feet) of western Maryland. Of its more than 5,440 students, 21% are students of color, 4% are Hispanic and 2% Asian. Additionally 72 international students come from 17 countries. Approximately 2,100 reside on campus in 11 traditional halls and one apartment-style community. The main campus covers 260 acres within the town limits of Frostburg (population 7,500). The University also offers courses at the University System of Maryland at Hagerstown, on the Catonsville Campus of the Community College of Baltimore County and at Arundel Mills Regional Higher Education Center, as well as online.
FSU prides itself on being a dynamic, learning-centered organization that emphasizes teaching, but with opportunities for professional development and research. Students regularly build strong connections with faculty and staff members that often last beyond graduation.
The local region is rich in both history and outdoor activities. Students can visit nearby recreational areas-Rocky Gap, New Germany, and Deep Creek Lake State Parks-which offer camping, boating, swimming, hiking, and skiing. For more information, visit www.frostburg.edu/about.cfm.
