Position Summary:

The Department of Sociology at Florida Atlantic University invites applications for an appointment at the rank of Assistant professor, with research specialization in the area of race and ethnicity. The successful candidate will balance high-quality scholarship with excellence in teaching and service. Given the high level of diversity among our student population at FAU, we seek those with the ability to work with a diverse student population. Faculty typically teach a 3-2 course schedule, teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in the department's Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree programs. The hired candidate will teach primarily at our Boca Raton campus, with a possible minor assignment at our Davie campus.

The position is part of a College multidisciplinary cluster hire with research-intensive focus on the transhistorical African Diaspora in the Americas. These faculty will join current faculty who contribute to the overall hemispheric studies emphasis of the college’s Americas Initiative, taking advantage of FAU’s unique location at the nexus of South America, North America and the Caribbean. The College seeks scholars wishing to engage with the diverse FAU student body, multicultural South Florida, community partners such as the Spady Museum, Fort Lauderdale African American Library, Perez Art Museum, UM Cuban Heritage Collection, among others, and institutional exchange programs in the Americas, Africa and Europe. Given FAU’s status as a Hispanic Serving Institution, research and teaching intersections with Latin American and Latinx cultural, social and artistic histories are also welcome.

Faculty are expected to conduct research and teach courses in the areas of their specialization, but will also have the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary teams to advance a distinctive scholarly agenda. There are also be opportunities to mentor graduate students in the home department, in our college-wide interdisciplinary PhD program, and in other graduate and undergraduate programs within the College. Collaborative multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary extramural grant opportunities will be encouraged with internal seed grants, robust institutional grant-writing support, and post-award administrative assistance.

Screening of applications will begin on November 1, 2019.
