The Department of Sociology and Criminology at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio invites applications for a full-time (9 months), tenure-track Assistant Professor position to begin in fall 2023. The area of expertise in sociology is open. The ideal candidate will be a sociologist who specializes in social justice-oriented sociology. Our future colleague will be expected to teach courses in sociology, develop a record of published scholarship, and perform service to the department, college, university, and the surrounding community. The teaching load for this position is 12 credits (typically comprised of three 4-credit courses or two 4-credit courses, one 3-credit course, and one 1-credit course) each fall and spring semester.
The Department of Sociology and Criminology houses undergraduate majors in sociology and criminology and minors in criminology, sociology, and social justice. Department faculty currently offer community-engaged courses and partake in interdisciplinary scholarship. With this position (and a second dedicated to criminology), the department has opportunities for growth in these and new directions. In the cover letter or teaching statement, we ask that candidates speak to community engagement, interdisciplinary work, and/or other possibilities for engaging Capital students in active learning.
