Sociology
Assistant Professor
The position has been filled and we are no longer accepting applications. Thank you.
The department of sociology invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position beginning Fall 2009 with teaching and research interests in one or more of the following areas:
- stratification and social mobility;
- social movements and political sociology;
- work, occupations and economic sociology;
- public health and welfare;
- family and households;
- religion and religious movements.
Preference will be given to candidates with (or near) a Ph.D., and with demonstrated teaching and scholarly capabilities. The College strongly supports success in the classroom through its Mankoff Center for Teaching and Learning, and intellectual life in the social sciences through its multidisciplinary centers, including the Holleran Center for Community Action and Public Policy, The Toor Cummings Center for International Studies and the Liberal Arts, and the Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity.
Connecticut College educates students to put the liberal arts into action as citizens in a global society. A private, highly selective institution in New London, Connecticut, mid-way between New York and Boston, the College is notable for its strong academic programs, friendly campus, and emphasis on broad interdisciplinary teaching and research. With a student/faculty ratio of 10/1, students learn from their professors in classrooms, studios, labs, and across the residential campus and the entire globe. The intimate size of our community (approximately 1900 students from 45 states and 70 countries) fosters collaboration among faculty, staff and students.
For tenure-track faculty, the normal teaching load is five courses annually, and these faculty members are expected to contribute to the College's general education program, which includes a first-year seminar component. Salary is competitive. Tenure-track faculty receive a research stipend for their first two summers and a semester's leave at full salary after their third year if they are reappointed for the full probationary period.
The College's Board of Trustees, President, administration, faculty and staff share a commitment to diversity. We foster the values of equity, inclusion, and respect for all human differences, for these are essential to the fulfillment of our mission. Structural evidence of this commitment can be seen in our Center for Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity, the positions of senior diversity officer and dean of multicultural affairs created several years ago, our Unity House Multicultural Center, and the diversity programming sponsored by many departments across the campus. The College is also an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
