The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Agnes Scott College seeks to hire a fulltime, tenure-track sociologist at the Assistant Professor level to begin in Fall 2013. Applicants must have completed the Ph.D. in Sociology prior to occupying the position. Although housed in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, the position requires active participation in the Africana Studies Program, including teaching and advising duties, the potential for future leadership of the program, and opportunities to interact and cross-list courses with other interdisciplinary programs. The position involves a 3/2 teaching load. The ideal candidate should be able to teach courses in sociological theory, social inequalities, and qualitative and quantitative research methods. Applicants must demonstrate excellence in college-level teaching; a record of either published research or strong evidence of the potential to publish; and a willingness to mentor undergraduate students. The ability to teach a socially and economically diverse student population is a standard at Agnes Scott College.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology consists of two sociologists and two cultural anthropologists who teach courses cross-listed with other departments and programs, including Religious Studies, Women’s Studies, Africana Studies, Human Rights, and Public Health. Current faculty have teaching and research specialties in the topics of race, class, and gender; African diaspora; African religion and witchcraft; linguistic anthropology; popular culture; education; medical anthropology; Latin America; political economy, and human rights. The department offers a combined major in Sociology and Anthropology, one of the most popular majors at Agnes Scott.
To apply, send a cover letter describing research and teaching competencies, curriculum vitae, sample course syllabi, and at least three recent recommendation letters to Dr. Douglas Falen, Chair; Department of Sociology and Anthropology; Box 1097; Agnes Scott College; 141 E. College Ave.; Decatur, GA 30030. Phone: (404) 471-5499. Electronic submissions are preferred and may be submitted to sociologysearch@agnesscott.edu. Teaching evaluations will be solicited from selected applicants later in the hiring process. Application review begins October 1 and will continue until the position is filled.
Agnes Scott College is a highly selective, independent national liberal arts college for women located in metropolitan Atlanta, a cosmopolitan and ethnically diverse region with a vibrant cultural life.
