The Department seeks broadly trained sociologists. Areas of specialization are open but should complement and expand our current course offerings and research areas (see www.radford.edu/sociology). Successful candidates should demonstrate a commitment to teaching excellence, be committed to student-centered undergraduate education, and demonstrate potential to contribute to our accredited Program in Public Sociology. Assistant Professors teach and develop courses in their areas of expertise, are expected to maintain a program of research and publication, and participate in university service.

ABD candidates will be considered with confirmation of a graduation date.
Applicants must provide (1) a letter of application that explains how they meet the required qualifications, (2) a current vita, and (3) the names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of three references. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ADDITIONAL MATERIALS AT THIS TIME. Applications should be e-mailed (preferred) to the Search Committee at socysearch@radford.edu or mailed to: Search Committee, Department of Sociology, Box 6948, Radford University, Radford, VA 24142.

Located in the scenic New River Valley, between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the south and the Appalachian Mountains to the north, Radford University is a growing university, approaching 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students. A student-focused institution, Radford’s commitment to student engagement provides a wide range of opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration for faculty as well as students.
As the largest college at Radford and home to Liberal Arts instruction on campus, the College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences is central to the mission of the university. Faculty members strive to develop in their students a range of intellectual skills and habits of mind that will serve them well throughout their academic and professional lives, as well as in their personal lives as productive citizens. Students regularly engage with faculty in experiential learning activities and internships that provide opportunities to serve communities while preparing for careers. Faculty members’ scholarly and creative activity is viewed as a vital corollary to the instructional mission of the institution, with faculty encouraged to co-author research with undergraduate and graduate students.
Radford is nearing completion of a new 145,000 square foot state-of-the-art instructional facility that will be home to all 125+ college faculty members. Centrally located on the main quad of the campus, it will be the largest academic building at the university and will house an array of specialized teaching and research facilities. The building is scheduled to open in fall, 2016. Additional information about the College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences is available here: www.radford.edu/content/chbs/home.html.
