The San Diego State University Department of Sociology is seeking applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Sociology of Crime/Criminology to begin the fall semester of 2018. A Ph.D. in Sociology or Criminology is required, as is evidence of published research and a defined research agenda for the future. A demonstrated potential to attract funding is also valued (psst...the university really wants someone with a grant background, not sure how insistent they will be when we start calling people in. The last hire only had internal grants when they were hired). Particular areas of interest are social control, criminal networks and community-based corrections. A focus on the dynamic roles of race/ethnicity is especially valued (psst...the department is really really interested in a crime person who knows their way race/ethnicity, no consensus on the exact direction this should take, i.e. race and incarceration, race and policing, etc). The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of sociology of crime, criminological theory, criminal organizations and other courses that the candidate might develop to enhance the department’s curriculum (psst...this position is to replace Sheldon Zhang, who left us for UMass Lowell). The successful candidate will also be expected to lead the Department’s effort to collaborate and bridge teaching and research interests that are shared by other academic units such as the Criminal Justice Program and the Department of Political Science.
The SDSU Sociology Department serves more than three hundred and fifty undergraduate majors, and approximately forty master’s degree aspirants. It has a global/multicultural approach to both teaching and research and is firmly committed to developing and maintaining a social inequality-oriented focus and is, thus, seeking applicants who can work well with diverse student populations. See our website at sociology.sdsu.edu/ for more information.
A Ph.D. should be in-hand at the start of the appointment (psst...the university is pretty insistent on this). Please send a letter of application that includes your teaching record/approach and a summary of your research (past, present and proposed), a curriculum vitae, a course syllabus that you have developed, and three letters of recommendation. The deadline for submission of applications is October 23, 2017.
