Assistant Professor of Urban Studies

The Urban Studies Program at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut invites applications for a tenure-track position in environmental urban studies. While we are open to the geographic area of candidates’ teaching and research expertise, we have some preference for South Asia, Latin America, and/or the Caribbean, or a global-comparative approach across two or more of these regions.

We seek a colleague at the assistant professor level for this broad interdisciplinary area who is an advanced ABD, a newly minted Ph.D. or a postdoc in Anthropology, Geography, Sociology, Urban Planning, Environmental Studies or related fields and demonstrates a promising record of teaching and scholarship in two or more of these areas: climate change, urban sustainability, socioenvironmental justice, mobility and transportation, human migration, and renewable energy.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement describing your research and scholarship, and a statement on your teaching philosophy (including your approach to teaching a diverse student body) by December 1, 2024. Please include a sample of your scholarly writing, course syllabi and evaluations (if available), and contact information for three individuals who will write reference letters.
