Dear Professor Pedulla,
The Sociology Department at Union College is hiring a three-year Visiting Assistant Professor in Sociology and Migration (specialization in migration and diasporic communities with links to Africana Studies, Asian Studies, or Latin American and Caribbean Studies), and we were hoping that you could share the following information with your graduates.
Union is a small liberal arts college in Schenectady, New York, and strongly supports both teaching and research. Faculty help students develop "critical thinking, problem solving, ethical inquiry, strong communication skills, empathy, an understanding of other cultures and ways of being in the world, technical and digital proficiencies, and a lifelong love of learning," as stated in our Strategic Plan. Our department has five tenure lines and we contribute extensively to a wide range of interdisciplinary programs, including Africana Studies, Asian Studies and Latin American and Caribbean Studies. We are located in the Capital District, which has more than a million people and is roughly three hours from New York City, Boston and Montreal.
We have copied the advertisement below, and hope your graduates will consider applying. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely, Melinda Goldner
Professor and Chair of Sociology
VISITOR, Sociology & Migration (specialization in migrant and diasporic communities with links to Africana Studies, Asian Studies, or Latin American and Caribbean Studies)
The Department of Sociology at Union College invites applications for a three-year visiting position beginning September 1, 2023. The candidate is expected to have a Ph.D. in Sociology (or a related field) and demonstrated effectiveness in undergraduate teaching. Teaching responsibilities will be principally in the above mentioned areas with an emphasis on race and ethnicity, migration from Africa, Latin America or Asia to the United States and/or global population studies. Teaching load is two in-person courses per ten-week trimester, six courses per academic year, with the opportunity to repeat a course. One of the six courses will include “Introduction to Sociology.” These courses will support a new General Education curriculum focused on Justice, Equity, Identity and Difference and Global Challenges (see https://www.union.edu/common-curriculum/general-education-union<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.union.edu_common-2…>, for more information).

Union College recognizes the rich possibilities of interdisciplinary studies by offering many opportunities for both faculty and students to engage with multiple disciplines - and each other - in collaborative classroom settings, innovative majors, and unique research initiatives. The successful hire can develop courses in their area of expertise that may contribute to one or more of the interdisciplinary programs, especially Africana Studies, Asian Studies, or Latin American and Caribbean Studies. A complete list of interdisciplinary programs can be found at: https://www.union.edu/interdisciplinary-studies<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.union.edu_interdis…>.
Evaluation of candidates will begin on January 5, 2023 and will continue until the position is filled. Applications are to include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and evidence of teaching effectiveness including any course evaluations. Applicants should describe in their cover letter their background and interests in teaching. In addition, they are asked to describe how their research, teaching and service could support the college’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, and how they may contribute to interdisciplinary studies at the college. These materials should be submitted to http://jobs.union.edu<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__jobs.union.edu_&d=DwMFa…>.
