Assistant Professor of Justice Studies

The Justice Studies Department seeks well-qualified candidates who focus on an intersectional understanding of gender, class, race/ethnic, and other inequalities, and how these identities and subject positions relate to the criminal justice system. We seek candidates with a demonstrated ability to involve students in the community and help them develop practical skills related to citizen engagement, including community organizing for social justice, advocacy for marginalized communities, and citizen involvement in just policy creation. The person chosen will also be expected to teach some required justice studies courses. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach a writing-in-the-discipline course focused on inequalities.

The Justice Studies Department has a strong focus on social justice at the local and global levels, including studies of social inequality, violence, immigration, human rights and transformative justice. Critical criminology is a strong component of the curriculum. Candidates must be able to work in a culturally diverse environment; have a related critical scholarly research agenda; and have a commitment to working with groups outside of the academy.

Required qualifications: Ph.D. in a social science or related field, and a strong commitment to teaching, scholarship, and service.
