We seek a colleague whose research and teaching interests are in the Sociology of Global Health Inequality. We are interested in a scholar who will explore the connections between health and society from an international and comparative perspective. Our ideal candidate will focus on the social, economic, political, institutional, or environmental factors that shape the well-being of individuals, communities, and nations, particularly in the developing world. Key research areas might include (but are not limited to) the following: (1) patterns in health according to race, class, gender and other axes of social oppression; (2) disparities in health care access, quality, and delivery; (3) the social epidemiology of disease across time and space; (4) the role of transnational actors and institutions in mitigating health problems; (5) the formation and consequences of public health policies; (6) interactions between health and other social problems such as poverty, over-urbanization, environmental degradation, and violent conflict; or (7) the causes and consequences of health inequality, particularly as they relate to globalization and development. We welcome applicants with expertise in a variety of methodological techniques, but expect that the candidate's research and teaching, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, will contribute to existing department strengths in global comparative analysis. Furthermore, our new colleague will offer a distinctively sociological focus to interdisciplinary collaborations across the University where global health issues are being addressed in multiple Schools, Centers, and Departments. Stony Brook University expects excellence in teaching and in research and is committed to building a culturally diverse faculty and a multicultural learning environment. PhD required or anticipated completion of PhD by August 31, 2013.

Stony Brook University Medical Center is Suffolk County's only academic medical center and tertiary care provider. Many opportunities exist for collaborative research, and in some cases, joint appointments with BNL or with Medical School departments.

FW: ACLS Announces New Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS Program in China Studies ACLS:00390147

by Ogungbadero, Suzanne

From: Elisabeta Pop <epop(a)ACLS.org<mailto:epop@ACLS.org>> Date: August 10, 2012 11:38:39 AM EDT To: "Smith, Michael" <mike_smith(a)harvard.edu<mailto:mike_smith@harvard.edu>> Subject: ACLS Announces New Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS Program in China Studies ACLS:00390147 [http://www.acls.org/email/fellowshipnews_brown.jpg] The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to announce the launch of a new program in support of China studies, made possible by a grant of $1.2 million from the Henry Luce Foundation<http://www.hluce.org/>. The program aims to assure the continuing vitality of American scholarship on China when the need for understanding one of the world's oldest continuing civilizations is ever more apparent. "The Henry Luce Foundation has been a steadfast advocate for and benefactor of the study of China for three-quarters of a century," said ACLS President Pauline Yu. "We are grateful for its generosity and particularly honored that the Foundation's directors chose to designate this new grant as one of the special initiatives marking its 75th anniversary." The Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS Program in China Studies<http://www.acls.org/programs/china-studies/> will aid scholars embarking on careers in research and teaching on Chinese history, literature, culture, and society. Annually, it will award stipends for pre-dissertation research in China, grants forcollaborative reading workshops that unite a number of disciplines and scholarly generations, and postdoctoral research fellowships for scholars within eight years of the receipt of the Ph.D. These awards are designed to compensate for the decline in funding for early-career researchers at many American institutions of higher education. By supporting research in China, Luce/ACLS awards will also facilitate connections between American specialists and their Chinese counterparts, relationships that reflect the increased scholarly trade between the two countries. "China is intimately connected to the Foundation's history and lies at the heart of our Asia Program," said Michael Gilligan, President of the Luce Foundation. "We are delighted to continue a relationship with ACLS on the study of China that began with our first grant to the Council in 1971, at a time when the country was still closed to Americans. With the breathtaking pace of change in China now, it is more important than ever to nurture expertise and encourage contacts." "ACLS shares with the Henry Luce Foundation the conviction that understanding China is both a national priority and a vital intellectual goal if we are to thrive in today's world, and in tomorrow's," commented President Yu. "Over the past century American scholarship on China has become enormously strong and capacious, but to remain vital such knowledge must be constantly renewed and extended. This program will assist the scholars who will do that." An understanding of the importance of China studies marked the ACLS's earliest history. The first formal meeting of the ACLS, in 1920, concluded by resolving to promote China studies in the American academy. Since then, the Council's work has supported individual and collaborative research, conferences, scholarly associations, publications, libraries, and exchange programs. ACLS and the Henry Luce Foundation have partnered in many of these areas; the recently concluded program in East and Southeast Asian Archaeology and Early History<http://www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=518> being the most recent joint effort. More information on the new program may be found here<http://www.acls.org/programs/china-studies/>. The deadline for applications for the first competition is November 15, 2012. www.acls.org<http://www.acls.org/> [http://www.acls.org/Email/FB_90x19.jpg]<http://www.facebook.com/acls1919> [http://www.acls.org/Email/TW_90x19.jpg]<http://www.twitter.com/acls1919>

assistant professor position for a sociologist at UM Policy School

by Matteson, Jessica

FYI From: David Harding <dharding(a)isr.umich.edu<mailto:dharding@isr.umich.edu>> Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 20:57:02 -0400 To: FAS <western(a)wjh.harvard.edu<mailto:western@wjh.harvard.edu>> Subject: assistant professor position for a sociologist at UM Policy School Dear Bruce, I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to see if you know of any students who would be strong candidates for the assistant professor position described below. The Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan is planning to search for a junior sociologist this fall, and I will be talking to potential candidates at ASA. We recognize that top sociology candidates may be hesitant to consider a position at a policy school, as this is somewhat unfamiliar terrain. The Ford School is a stimulating multi-disciplinary environment that values diversity of intellectual and methodological perspectives. Our faculty members have close ties with other social, behavioral, and health science departments and schools on campus. Assistant professors at the Ford School are expected to establish themselves as leading scholars in their home discipline and are evaluated for tenure by the same standards as assistant professors in top disciplinary departments around the country. I am of course happy to discuss the pros and cons of a position in a policy school as well as any questions potential candidates may have. If you think there is someone I should speak with, please let me know or ask them to send along a CV. Many thanks, Dave The University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy invites applications from sociologists for one or more rank open tenure-track positions, especially assistant professor rank. Areas of specialization are open, with special opportunities for scholars of financial markets, environmental issues, and socioeconomic factors in the well-being of children and families. Scholars from all methodological traditions will be considered. Candidates should combine relevant substantive expertise with strong interests in public policy. Promise of excellence in research and teaching is required. Joint appointments or affiliations with other departments, schools, or colleges are possible. This is a university-year appointment and begins on September 1, 2013. First consideration will be given to applications received by October 1, 2012, but applications will be considered until all relevant positions are filled. The following application materials should be sent in PDF format to sociology(a)fordschool.umich.edu<mailto:sociology@fordschool.umich.edu>: a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, writing samples, statement of current and future research plans, statement of teaching philosophy and experience, teaching evaluations, and three letters of recommendation. The University of Michigan is an AA/EO employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The University is supportive of the needs of dual career couples. ******************************************************* David J.
