The Division of Criminology and Criminal Justice in the College of Urban & Public Affairs at Portland State University invites applications for two tenure track Assistant Professor positions to begin September 2015. Preference will be given to candidates whose substantive research area and teaching strengths are in corrections or in courts/law.
Minimum Qualifications
Ph.D. in Criminology, Criminal Justice, or closely related field (ABD with strong assurance of completion by Summer 2015 will be considered)
University teaching experience and willingness to teach in an online format
Evidence of peer-reviewed publication agenda and policy-oriented research focus
Specialization in corrections or courts/law preferred
At PSU, the goals of the Criminology and Criminal Justice (CCJ) Division are to improve criminal justice related policy and decision-making (1) through rigorous research and analysis of important policy issues and (2) through the training of engaged students equipped with high-quality analytic, creative problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. In service of these twin goals, CCJ faculty actively seek out and participate in partnerships with practitioners, community organizations, public agencies, and policymakers to identify and address crime problems and improve public service delivery. While CCJ faculty members are well-represented within the academic literature, the Division also values their tangible contributions to local, state, and national crime and crime control policy and practice. The CCJ Division offers a master’s of science degree and houses a large undergraduate program, offered in both a campus-based and a fully online format. It also houses the Criminal Justice Policy Research Institute, a mechanism for fostering and disseminating faculty research.
Portland State operates on a three-term schedule during the academic year, which commences in late September and ends in early June. The typical teaching load is 2 classes per term. Nine-month faculty positions run from September 15 to June 15, annually.
Review of applications will start September 22, 2014 and continue until both positions are filled.
