Tenure-track position in Sociology - St. Olaf College

by Sociology Department

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at St. Olaf College invites applications for a tenure-track position in sociology, beginning fall 2011. Appointment is expected at the assistant professor rank, and salary is competitive. A completed Ph.D. in sociology is strongly preferred. St. Olaf College is an academically rigorous, nationally ranked liberal arts college related to the Lutheran Church (ELCA). It is located in Northfield, Minnesota (www.ci.northfield.mn.us/), 35 miles south of Minneapolis/St. Paul, a vibrant and culturally rich metropolitan area. It is home to 3,000 students and 800 faculty and staff. The department has six full-time members, three sociologists and three anthropologists, with a variety of interests and research projects in the U.S. and abroad. Our majors have strong interests in service as well as academic work, and we seek to help them combine both. Our department has strong ties with the American Studies, American Racial and Multicultural Studies, Hispanic Studies and Asian Studies programs, MACO (Multicultural Affairs and Community Outreach) programs (www.stolaf.edu/community/maco), and off-campus study programs (www.stolaf.edu/international). For more information about the college and the department, please visit: http://www.stolaf.edu/depts/sociology and www.stolaf.edu. We seek someone highly committed to undergraduate teaching, with demonstrated and potential excellence in teaching, research, and service to the college. Willingness to engage in collaborative research with students, including presentations at academic conferences and publications, is strongly preferred. Candidates should also be ready to contribute to interdisciplinary programs and have a willingness to lead or develop off-campus study programs. We seek candidates with a focus on quantitative research and U.S. minority and/or immigrant populations of color as primary specializations. Additional specialization in one or more of the following areas is preferred: environmental sociology, sociological theory, urban sociology, human rights, sociology of culture, and sociology of education. We will consider other secondary specializations complementing existing department members’ areas of expertise. Primary teaching responsibilities will include introduction to sociology, quantitative research methods (a required core course in the sociology/anthropology major), and courses in race, class and/or immigration in the U.S. Other course responsibilities may include: sociological theory (required major core course), family and the life course, social movements and social change, the senior seminar (required core course with an ethics component), and occasional off-campus course(s). Opportunities exist for the development of additional topical courses. A full-time teaching load is six courses per academic year, and faculty have advising and committee responsibilities after their first year. We will begin to review applications on August 1, 2010 and will continue until the position is filled. We may conduct initial interviews at the annual American Sociological Association meeting in Atlanta in mid-August. An initial application will include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, and the names of three references; complete applications will also include letters from three references and a sample of professional writing. Application materials must be submitted in electronic form; instructions may be found at www.stolaf.edu/offices/doc/jobs/socanth11-12.html. Questions about the position, department, or college may be directed to Christopher Chiappari, Chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, St. Olaf College, 1520 St. Olaf Avenue, Northfield MN 55057 (chiappar(a)stolaf.edu). A liberal arts college affiliated with the Lutheran Church (ELCA), St. Olaf College is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and actively seeks diversity in its students, faculty and staff. The college is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute to the diversity of our community through their teaching, research, and/or service.
