UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Sociology and Women and Gender Studies
Assistant Professor
The Department of Sociology and the Women and Gender Studies Program at the University of South Carolina invite applications for a joint appointment as an Assistant Professor of Sociology and the Women and Gender Studies Program. We are seeking scholars who can teach courses in the sociology of gender, sexuality, and intersections of social difference. We are particularly interested in those whose research emphasis is on one or more of the following: health and well-being, social psychology, and research methods. Completion of PhD degree by the time of employment is expected.
Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae, a statement outlining their research and teaching agenda, three letters of recommendation, and up to three samples of writing via AcademicJobsOnline.Org (Job # 4234).
Review of applications will begin October 1, 2014. All applications received by October 15, 2014 will receive full consideration. For additional information contact the Recruitment Committee Chair, Shane Thye, at srthye@mailbox.sc.edu .
The Sociology Department has an intellectually diverse faculty with strengths in Social Psychology, Stratification & Social Structure and Population & Health. The department’s Social Psychology program is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as 4th in the country and the department has a strong graduate program with student-high NRC rankings tied for 3rd in the nation. The department has historically maintained a strong reputation for rigorous research methodology. Established more than four decades ago, WGST at University of South Carolina offers an undergraduate degree and a graduate certificate, with strengths in women’s health and well being, public policy and community engagement, and intersectionality. USC’s program is unique in its early focus on health sciences, with women’s health and health disparities as strengths in teaching and research. This position will have a tenure home in the Sociology department but is a fully joint appointment in Sociology and WGST with managed responsibilities to both programs.
The University of South Carolina's main campus is located in the state capital, close to the mountains and the coast. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has designated the University of South Carolina as one of only 73 public and 35 private academic institutions with “very high research activity” and also lists USC as having strong focus on community engagement. The University has over 31,000 students on the main campus (and over 46,000 students system-wide), more than 350 degree programs, and a nationally-ranked library system that includes one of the nation’s largest public film archives. Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, is the center of a greater metropolitan area which has a population over 750,000.
The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply. The University of South Carolina does not discriminate in educational or employment opportunities or decisions for qualified persons on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
