Kalamazoo College invites applications for a tenure track position at the assistant professor level in the Anthropology and Sociology Department. We invite applications from anthropologists, sociologists, or geographers with expertise in qualitative and/or quantitative research methods. The area of research is open, but an international focus is desired. As a blended department, all courses blur disciplinary boundaries.
A Ph.D. is required in Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, or a related discipline (or evidence it will be completed by September 1, 2023). The position also requires advising senior theses, contributing to the College’s “Shared Passages” core curriculum (first-year, sophomore, and senior seminars), and a commitment to the liberal arts. Kalamazoo College is committed to inclusive excellence. We especially encourage applications from candidates whose intellectual and pedagogical approaches will be effective in attracting and retaining historically underrepresented students. The successful applicant will demonstrate a strong commitment to working with students, faculty, and staff from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. They will also demonstrate a high aptitude for and interest in undergraduate teaching, a commitment to the liberal arts, and the ability to establish an ongoing research record. Salary is competitive and consistent with the level of experience. Kalamazoo College is on the trimester system, and the teaching load is two courses per trimester.
Completed applications received by September 1, 2022 will receive full consideration, with later applications reviewed as needed until the position is filled. Please electronically submit to application materials in pdf format: cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement on equity and inclusion, a statement of teaching philosophy, a statement of research interests. Please also have three letters of recommendation submitted to AnsoSearch@kzoo.edu with “Tenure Track” in the subject line. Prior to Zoom interviews, a 10-page writing sample and sample syllabi of a course the candidate has taught, or may teach in the future will be requested. Please direct all correspondence and questions regarding this position to Dr. Espelencia Baptiste: espelencia.baptiste@kzoo.edu
