The University of Northern Iowa's College of Social and Behavioral Sciences-Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology seeks applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Criminology to begin August 2019. Our program focuses on preparing students for work in the criminal justice system and related organizations. Toward this end, we seek candidates who can complement our existing course offerings in one or more of the following areas: mental health, sex offenders, child abuse, victims, trafficking, drugs, and/or policing. In addition, since we are committed to preparing students to work with diverse populations, we prefer candidates who focus on issues of inequality (i.e. race, class, gender, citizenship status, etc.). Preference will also be given to candidates who have previously taught courses at the undergraduate level and exhibit a strong commitment to active learning, student engagement, and critical thinking. The typical teaching load is 3 courses per semester. The position will include teaching in both face-to-face and online formats. In addition to teaching, candidates must demonstrate potential for developing a significant social science research agenda and are expected to 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 and related organizations 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).
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 process. The department is comprised of 18 tenured and tenure-track faculty and is located in 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 collaborate 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, or related field is required. A Juris Doctorate is not sufficient for this position.
Required qualifications include a willingness to teach both face-to-face and online courses and evidence of potential for developing a significant social science research agenda.
Preference will be given to candidates with a desire to teach courses in one or more of the following areas: mental health, sex offenders, child abuse, victims, trafficking, drugs, and/or policing; a focus on issues of inequality (i.e. race, class, gender, citizenship status, etc.); previous teaching experiences at the undergraduate level; and a strong commitment to active learning, student engagement, and critical thinking.
Applications received by February 25, 2019, will receive full consideration. To apply, visit jobs.uni.edu/. Inquiries may be sent to Kimberly Baker at kimberly.baker@uni.edu or 319- 273-7456. Pre-employment background checks required.
