The Sociology and Anthropology Department at Colgate University welcomes applications for two visiting assistant professor positions in sociology, to begin fall semester 2024. We seek two sociologists who will expand the existing strengths of the Sociology and Anthropology Department. The area of specialization is open. Strong candidates will be able to teach Introduction to Sociology and electives in their areas of specialization. Candidates with prior teaching experience preferred.
Completion of a PhD. is required prior to or shortly after the date of hire, preferably in Sociology. A cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for two references must be submitted through Interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/140752. The application letter should address the candidate’s research and teaching areas. Colgate strives to be a community supportive of diverse perspectives and identities; the cover letter should also describe your ability to work effectively with students across a wide range of identities, backgrounds and perspectives. Our review of applications will begin February 28 and continue until the positions are filled.
Colgate is a vibrant liberal arts university of around 3,200 students situated in central New York state. Our faculty are committed to excellence in both teaching and scholarship. These positions are for one year. There is a strong possibility of renewal for a multi-year appointment, contingent on department needs and an evaluation of teaching effectiveness in the first year. Please note that Colgate will not sponsor any visa or work authorization for these positions.
