The University of Northern Iowa's Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminology seeks applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Criminology position to begin August 2019. We seek candidates whose primary teaching and research interests are in the area of policing. The position will include teaching in both face-to-face and online formats. The ideal candidate will teach Police and Society and will be able to design other courses focused on policing/law enforcement that complement our current offerings. The typical teaching load is 3 courses per semester. Candidates are expected to work positively with faculty, staff, and students across the department; exhibit a strong commitment to high quality teaching and student engagement; develop and maintain an active research agenda; and provide departmental and university service.
The criminology program at UNI is unique for its commitment to train Iowans to work in the criminal justice system in Iowa. We offer a broad mix of theoretical and applied courses that encourage academic, professional, and personal success. We seek to challenge students to think critically, communicate effectively, and contribute professionally. We prepare students to interact effectively with diverse populations with a sense of open mindedness, respect, and cultural awareness. The criminology program is a growing program with a well-established traditional BA in criminology. We also recently added a new optional emphasis in criminal justice within the traditional BA and an online degree for students transferring from 2-year colleges (BAS degree). We are currently in the process of developing an online BA degree.
The criminology program is housed within the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology. Department faculty are committed to the principles of a liberal arts education. We promote a learning environment where students are taught to value cultural diversity and pluralism and to engage in critical analysis of social structure and processes. The department is comprised of 18 tenured and tenure-track faculty and is located in a renovated building that includes a state-of-the-art active learning technology classroom.
UNI has a bold vision that we will be a diverse and inclusive campus community that provides an engaged education empowering students to lead locally and globally. We seek faculty across disciplines, departments, and colleges to work together to build our national prominence in any of four distinct but interrelated areas of our vision and strategic plan: engaged learning, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, and community engagement. Successful candidates with background and interest in these areas will form clusters to advance our work, joining current faculty conducting teaching, scholarship, and service in these areas.
Ph.D. in criminology, criminal justice, sociology with an emphasis in criminology/criminal justice, or related field required. A Juris Doctorate is not sufficient for this position. Required qualifications include teaching and research specializations in policing; prior experience designing and teaching at least one course at the undergraduate level; and willingness to teach both face-to-face and online courses. Preference will be given to candidates with secondary specialization focusing on historically marginalized populations based on race, class, gender, immigration status, mental health status, etc.; and prior online teaching experience.
Applications received by October 1, 2018, will receive full consideration. To apply, visit jobs.uni.edu/. Inquiries may be sent to Kimberly Baker, search chair, at kimberly.baker@uni.edu or 319-273-7456. Pre-employment background checks required.
