The Department of Sociology and the Environmental Studies Program invite applications for an open-rank faculty position in environmental sociology to begin in Fall 2024.

We will also prioritize candidates whose work within environmental sociology intersects with other areas of specialization within the Department of Sociology’s graduate program. The tenure line is housed in the Sociology Department, and the position entails half-time teaching in Environmental Studies, which is an undergraduate major, and half-time graduate (Ph.D. and M.A.) and undergraduate teaching in the Department of Sociology.

A Sociology Ph.D. completed, or near completion, is required.
