The Department of Sociology at Boston University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin July 1, 2025. We seek a colleague with research and teaching interests in urban sociology, and who can also contribute to at least one additional area of departmental strength or targeted growth, including health and medicine, culture, environmental sociology, law and crime, race, and global/transnational sociology. The successful candidate will contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching in urban sociology, and should be able to teach core theory, methods, or introductory courses.

Boston University expects excellence in teaching and research, and is committed to building a culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse scholarly community. To apply, please submit 1) a cover letter; 2) teaching and research statements, no more than two pages each describing your interests and professional experience; 3) a curriculum vitae; 4) three reference letters; and 5) one sample of written work. Submit to Academic Jobs Online. Applications will be reviewed starting October 1, 2024 and continue until the position is filled.

BU conducts a background check on all final candidates for certain faculty and staff positions. The background check includes contacting the final candidate’s current and previous employer(s) to ask whether, in the last seven years, there has been a substantiated finding of misconduct violating that employer’s applicable sexual misconduct policies. To implement this process, the University requires a final candidate to complete and sign the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” after execution of an offer letter.

Our university community welcomes differences, encourages open-minded exploration, and upholds freedom of expression. We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, military service, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, or because of marital, parental, or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
