The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is recruiting up to six outstanding tenure track faculty to deepen and expand research and teaching related to racial equity, in parallel with two searches that address historical aspects of American slavery. We seek highly talented faculty whose research and teaching will make transformative contributions to the major themes of 1) Health, Wellness, and Equity in Communities of Color and 2) Black and Indigenous Families and Communities, with a preferred emphasis on U.S. populations. Searches in the departments of Biology, Communication, Economics, Exercise and Sport Science, Psychology & Neuroscience, and Sociology will contribute to this initiative. Across these searches, we aspire to recruit faculty who are doing innovative, intersectional, and high impact work that will diversify and enhance our research, teaching, and public outreach missions.

The Department of Sociology invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, to start as early as July 1, 2021, pending approval. We are seeking candidates who have research and teaching interests in the area of race and racism, and we prefer candidates whose work addresses questions related to health and equity and/or Black and Indigenous families and communities.

PhD is required.

Successful candidates must exhibit a record of strong and innovative research and show potential for excellence in teaching. The Department of Sociology and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are committed to a culture of inclusive excellence as a core value. We expect our faculty and staff to actively contribute to fostering an academic workplace climate that is welcoming and supportive for all.
