The Department of Sociology, Faculty of Arts, invites applications from outstanding scholars for two full time tenure track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of Criminology and Sociolegal Studies. The appointments will begin July 1, 2017.
Candidates must demonstrate excellence in research and teaching. Research excellence will be demonstrated in a record of publications and presentations in highly regarded venues, research funding history, and letters of reference. Evidence of high calibre teaching and supervisory potential will be demonstrated through previous teaching experiences, letters of reference, and the teaching dossier. Successful candidates will be expected to develop an innovative and robust externally funded research program, regularly engage in relevant domestic and international research networks, teach both graduate and undergraduate classes, supervise and mentor graduate students, and provide service to the Department, the Faculty, and the University, as well as to professional and external communities.
These two positions are part of the Department’s expansion of its criminology and sociolegal studies stream. We welcome exceptional applicants from diverse methodological and theoretical traditions within the field whose work will contribute to this expansion and to the Department as a whole, and whose areas of expertise supplement current strengths in the criminology and sociolegal studies stream. For at least one of the positions, a research and teaching agenda in empirical study of the criminal justice and/or legal systems will be considered an advantage.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Sociology, Criminology, or a closely related field with a primary focus on criminology or sociolegal studies by the time of the appointment.
As one of Canada’s most highly regarded departments, Sociology at the University of Alberta is known for its diverse and interdisciplinary scholarship. We currently have 25 fulltime academic staff, 4.5 permanent administrative staff, and approximate 400 undergraduate majors and 75 graduate students. Faculty members across our three broad departmental streams (social stratification and inequality; theory and culture; and criminology and sociolegal studies) are regularly recognized for teaching and research excellence and are engaged in a number of international research projects. The department is home to two academic journals and two major research chairs. Scholars interested in learning more about the Department of Sociology and the research programs of the staff are invited to view our Home Page (http://www.sociology.ualberta.ca) or to contact the Department Chair, Dr. Sara Dorow (sdorow@ualberta.ca).
