The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at James Madison University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Sociology at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin August 2022. We are seeking candidates with teaching and research interests in the area(s) of racial and social justice, with particular focus on Latinx populations. Strong preference will be given to candidates with a substantive focus on media/digital communication technologies and/or health, although other substantive areas of focus will be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to teach “Microsociology: The Individual in Society,” in addition to courses in their area(s) of expertise.
This hire forms part of a multi-department cohort hire in Latinx studies in the College of Arts and Letters, the largest academic unit at JMU. Home to ten academic departments, several interdepartmental programs, and 269 full-time faculty, Arts and Letters is the intellectual home of humanities, social sciences, communication, and media programs at JMU. Our Latinx cohort hire will bring six and perhaps as many as seven new colleagues specializing in social inequality, media, rhetoric, communication, creative writing, and romance languages. This cohort will join recent hires in Latinx US history, politics, and anthropology to build on already existing strengths across a variety of fields and intellectual areas. Harrisonburg is home to a vital Latinx community with whom JMU has a deep history of interconnection. This is an exciting time to join a college-wide effort to enhance research, teaching, and scholarship in this vital area of work.
