Assistant Professor Positions
School of Criminology and Justice Studies
The School of Criminology and Justice Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell is seeking applications for up to 2 positions at the assistant professor level. The appointment is expected to begin at the start of the Fall, 2016 semester, although the start date is negotiable.
The School of Criminology & Justice Studies is among the largest and most robust units of the University.The School enrolls over 1,200 students across its various academic programs, which include a Bachelor’s degree, two Master’s degrees, a Ph.D. degree, and graduate-level certificates in six specialized areas. The School features an interdisciplinary cadre of 19 full time faculty, with expertise in a wide range of criminology and criminal justice domains and a collective track record of extensive research productivity. Faculty research is currently supported by several million dollars in external grants from the National Institute of Justice, the Department of Defense, and other major funding agencies, and the School is home to four top academic journals.
Successful candidates will have a record of peer-reviewed publications, a clearly articulated research agenda, and demonstrated long-term capacity to produce high-quality scholarship and generate research funding. Research specialization is open, although the School is particularly interested in expanding its capacity in the areas of general and sexual violence, victims of crime, courts and sentencing, and the nexus of crime and mental health and/or substance abuse. Candidates must be able to teach core Criminology and Justice Studies courses at both the undergraduate and graduate (master’s and doctorate) levels.
A Ph.D. degree in Criminology, Criminal Justice, or a closely related social science field is required. A Juris Doctorate (JD) degree is not sufficient. Current ABD candidates are encouraged to apply, although the Ph.D. degree must be in hand by appointment date. Recommendation letters for ABD candidates should specifically address when the candidate is expected to defend his or her dissertation.
The School is committed to increasing the gender and racial/ethnic diversity of its faculty to match that of our student body. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are strongly encouraged to apply, and should identify in their cover letter how their personal and professional experiences can help us achieve this goal.
