A Ph.D. is required, with preference for that degree being in Sociology. Applicants’ primary area of expertise must be in race and ethnicity, with secondary areas open.

The Department also participates in the President’s Diversity Initiative (see the PDI website for more information about this initiative, www.udel.edu/diversity). These affiliations offer opportunities for collaborative research, mentoring/professional development, and possible joint faculty appointments.
