Wesleyan University’s Department of Sociology invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Sociology beginning July 1, 2023. This is an open field search. We are interested in scholars who practice innovative modes of engaging the world through scholarship, activism, and/or artistry. The Sociology Department is distinguished by our creative approach to social inquiry. We value interdisciplinary, meta-methodological, critical, and theoretically-driven frameworks, as well as teaching. The successful candidate will teach unique topical courses of their own design, alongside Introductory Sociology and other required courses.
The teaching load is 2/2. Additional duties include advising and mentoring students, carrying on a program of research, and participating in faculty governance at the departmental and university level. Wesleyan is a highly selective liberal arts college that values both scholarship and teaching very highly, has a strong, diverse undergraduate student body, and offers a generous sabbatical program and competitive salaries and benefits.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in sociology or related field in hand by the time of appointment to be hired as an Assistant Professor; a successful candidate may be hired as an Instructor if the candidate does not have a Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment, but will complete the Ph.D. in sociology or related field within one year of hire.
You will be asked to upload electronic versions of the items we require, which are a : (1) cover letter, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) writing sample, (4) statement of current research, (5) teaching statement, (6) course syllabi, and (7) student evaluations. In the cover letter, candidates should describe how they will embrace the college’s commitment to fostering an inclusive community, as well as their experience working with individuals from historically marginalized or underserved groups.
You will also be asked to provide the email addresses of three referees from whom we may obtain confidential letters of recommendation (please double-check the accuracy of the email addresses of the referees you name to ensure that you have the most up-to-date email addresses for each one).
After you have submitted all of the required documents, you will see a confirmation number. At that point, each of your referees whose email address you have provided will receive an automatically-generated email requesting that he or she submit a letter of reference for you.
Applications completed by September 15 will received full consideration. Please contact Linda Cummings (lcummings@wesleyan.edu) if you have any questions about the application process.
