Assistant/Associate Professor of Sociology (Multiple Positions)

The Department of Sociology at the University of Georgia invites applications for two Assistant Professor positions to begin August 1, 2025. For both positions we will consider exceptional candidates at the early Associate Professor level.

The first position is in the area of Criminology. We welcome all substantive interests within this area. 

The second position is in the area of Computational Sociology. We welcome all substantive interests within this area, though we prefer candidates doing research in a sphere of concentration within our Department and we are especially interested in scholars studying the sociology of health.

Candidates for both positions should hold a Ph.D. in Sociology or related discipline and be well-grounded in sociological theory. Responsibilities of these positions entail (1) maintaining a robust research program, especially including actively seeking external funding, (2) contributing to excellence in graduate and undergraduate teaching and mentoring, and (3) engaging in service to the university and the profession. Scholars who can work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams are of particular interest. We seek applicants committed to UGA’s mission and core characteristics: https://www.uga.edu/about/mission. To apply for the Criminology position please visit https://www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/389254. To apply for the Computational Sociology position please visit https://www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/389227. We will begin screening applicants on September 4, 2024, and continue accepting applications until the positions are filled. Applicants must submit a CV, cover letter, research statement, teaching statement, writing sample, and contact information for three references. Letters of recommendation will be requested later in the search process. For questions about applying for these positions please contact Bryan Carver (bryan.carver@uga.edu).
