Socio-legal approaches to inequality. The Law, Societies, and Justice Program invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor with a teaching and research emphasis on socio-legal approaches to the dynamics of inequality. Preference will be given to candidates who examine inequality globally or internationally, and who adopt a comparative perspective. We are open to a range of more specific empirical foci studied in a range of geographic locales, but are especially interested in candidates with expertise in one of the areas of: gender/sexuality; health and medicine; environment/sustainability; migration; poverty; race/ethnicity; and disability studies. The Program seeks candidates who demonstrate excellence in research, teaching, and a commitment to building a more inclusive faculty and students. The successful candidate will possess either a 100 percent appointment in Law, Societies, and Justice, or a joint appointment with another unit in the social sciences. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service. Candidates should have a Ph.D. or equivalent foreign degree in a relevant social science discipline prior to the appointment start date. This position has a 9-month service period.

Law, Societies, and Justice offers an interdisciplinary bachelor’s degree, and a graduate-level certificate program for students with research interests in socio-legal studies. Its faculty are trained across the social sciences, and most possess a joint appointment with another unit. The successful candidate will be required to teach an introductory-level course on comparative law, and to develop a suite of upper level courses commensurate with the candidate’s expertise.

Applications should include a current CV, a cover letter describing research and teaching interests, samples of publications or other work, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and three letters of recommendation. Candidate materials should be electronically submitted to apply.interfolio.com/25656 with which letters will be solicited for separate submission. Priority will be given to applications received before October 1, 2014. Questions about the application process should be directed to: Professor Katherine Beckett, Search Committee Chair; [e-mail].

The Law, Societies, and Justice position listed above is in addition to the two positions that the UW sociology department will advertise in the coming weeks. Sorry for the delay, but UW is on a quarter system and school doesn't start until the end of September.

[datadriven]

Did UW hire someone for the "Data Driven" position advertised last year?

[UW position]

The ad calls for the areas of stratification/social inequality and/or migration/immigration; does anyone know how specific this is? For example, would they look at a good candidate who wants to go to UW and stretches their work to fall under "social inequality?"

[jobadquestion]

The job ad for the mig/strat position asks for "a statement of research and teaching interests." One statement with both, and is this distinct from the cover letter? Thanks.
