The Sociology Department at Wheaton College (MA) seeks applicants to fill a Professor of Practice opening. Wheaton defines the Professor of Practice as a renewable, non-tenure-track position that carries a 3:3 course load OR 2:3 with added service duties. Contract renewals will be based on favorable review of the professor’s teaching, advising, and committee service/administrative work. The position does not carry research expectations.
We seek a candidate who specializes in (1) criminology/criminal justice and (2) race/ethnicity and/or transnational/global sociology. This colleague will teach 5 undergraduate courses per year and receive a course equivalency for helping to administer the newly approved program in Criminal Justice, Restorative Justice, and Criminology (CJRJC). At least 2 of those courses would cover crime-related topics (including Introduction to Criminal Justice Studies) that would contribute to CJRJC (preferably in areas rooted in social justice, such as comparative modes of justice; race, crime, and justice; and/or criminalization of immigration). The other 3 courses would contribute to the department’s offerings in Sociology, both helping to staff core courses and drawing on the candidate’s areas of expertise to complement our current offerings.
Additionally, the successful candidate will work in collaboration with the Coordinator of the CJRJC program to develop this new major and to advise students within that program.
To apply for this position, please visit jobs.wheatoncollege.edu to complete the online application. In your application, you will be asked to provide (1) a cover letter that addresses how your teaching would contribute to our undergraduate liberal arts institution and to furthering Wheaton’s commitment to fostering a community that both celebrates and includes a diversity of voices and perspectives in our content and classroom. We also ask for (2) a current CV, (3) teaching statement, and (4) the contact information of three professional references. Within the teaching statement, please describe some of the pedagogical approaches hat you have used in the classroom and the courses you would be interested in teaching. Finalists’ references will be contacted after we conduct interviews.
A Ph.D. in Sociology is preferred at the time of appointment; however, strong ABD candidates will be considered.
Review of applications will begin January 6th, 2023 and continue until the position is filled. The position will begin Fall 2023 for a full-time one year appointment with the possibility of renewal, following successful annual evaluation. We strongly encourage applications from candidates from backgrounds underrepresented in higher education. We especially encourage candidates whose research programs and/or teaching and mentoring practices attend to issues of racism and social justice, broadly defined.
Questions may be directed to: Justin Schupp, Associate Professor of Sociology at schupp_justin <at> wheatoncollege <dot> edu
