The Department of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma (OU) invites applications at the rank of Assistant or Tenured Associate Professor beginning in academic year 2020-21. We seek a scholar whose research focuses on race-ethnicity and we welcome a variety of methodological approaches. Our ideal candidate will be the Department’s lead scholar in the area of race/ethnicity as far as research, teaching, service, and community engagement.

Preference will be given to candidates who can contribute to current strengths and create synergy with current faculty in the department (please visit www.ou.edu/cas/soc/people/faculty). Qualified candidates from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Teaching duties include graduate and undergraduate courses in the candidate’s specialty, in addition to core courses in the Department of Sociology. The teaching load is two courses per semester. The successful applicant will mentor MA and PhD students in their research and provide service to the University and discipline. Candidates with experience in teaching to underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Salary, benefits, and start-up packages are highly competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
About the Department: The OU Sociology Department is home to 18 faculty, 40 graduate students, and 450 undergraduate students. The unit has a lively intellectual climate with regular research workshops to share methodologies, gather constructive feedback, and advance the discipline. By mutual agreement, the successful candidate may affiliate with a diverse array of University-wide strategic units and centers (e.g., the Center for Applied Social Research, the OU Health Sciences Center, the Clara Luper Department of African and African-American Studies, the Department of Native-American Studies, the Department of Women and Gender Studies, the Center for Social Justice, the Department of Religious Studies, and many more). The successful candidate may also teach and serve the Oklahoma community through Sociology’s Inside-Out Program, which allows the possibility to teach a college course with OU and incarcerated students inside a state women’s prison (learn more at www.ou.edu/cas/soc).
