The teaching/service pattern has a focus on teaching and service. There is an option to change work patterns after tenure. A candidate should indicate their desired work pattern in their letter of interest. Applicants interested in the teaching/scholarship/service pattern should have the ability and intent to pursue a research program.
Qualifications: We are seeking applicants with expertise in the sociology of gender. Candidates should also be able to contribute to our core course offerings in qualitative methods. We are particularly committed to hiring a candidate who works within a framework that considers the intersections between gender and other pertinent axes of inequality such as: race, Indigeneity, class, sexuality, religion, ability, and age. In addition, familiarity with critical race theory and/or post and anti-colonial feminist scholarship is highly desirable for this position. The successful candidate will also incorporate a social justice perspective into their teaching and/or research. Faculty members are expected to be committed to teaching, to develop and deliver courses in their areas of expertise, and to contribute to the department. A Ph. D. (or Ph.D. near completion) in sociology is preferred; a Master’s degree is required.
