Tenure-Track Assistant Professor:
The Department of Sociology at Wake Forest University is seeking to fill one tenure-track Assistant Professor position with a starting date of July 1, 2024. Preference will be given to candidates who can teach upper-level seminars in one of two departmental concentrations (business and society; social determinants of health). (https://sociology.wfu.edu/undergraduate-program/concentrations) Only candidates with a PhD in sociology or a completion date before July 1, 2024, will be considered.
Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae and a cover letter that addresses the desirability of a move to Wake Forest University. In addition, we request materials on teaching, research, and social justice.
On teaching, submit a teaching statement outlining your pedagogical philosophy on teaching sociology with personal reflections on actual teaching experiences (what have you done, how well did it go? What would you repeat, and what would you change?), as well as annotated syllabi that explains the pedagogical choices you are making for an introductory level course and for an advanced elective seminar that could fit into one of our concentrations.
On research, include a statement on your previous scholarship, your current research trajectory, and how you would contribute to the research profile of the department. Please provide at least one published or in preparation for submission article or book chapter.
The Department of Sociology at Wake Forest University embraces the sociological tradition founded by W.E.B. Du Bois. We enjoy the highest percentage of URM and first-generation students of any major in the college.
Include a social justice statement that speaks to how you work, in your research, teaching, and/or service (in academia and/or the broader community), to reduce the impact of oppressive systems (i.e., white supremacy and racism, sexism, queer antagonism, disability antagonism, poverty, etc.) and/or to increase resources and opportunities for historically excluded groups.
Recommendation letters are not required upon submission of the application. Applicants who advance to the next stage of the search will be asked to submit three letters of recommendation.
Interested applicants should apply via the University’s career website at: www.wfu.careers/. Inquiries about the application process and document submission may be addressed to wakejobs@wfu.edu. Inquiries about the position should be directed to Professor Joseph A. Soares, Chair, Department of Sociology: soaresja@wfu.edu. Evaluations of applications will begin on September 25, and continue until the position is filled.
Employer Description:
