About UMass Amherst

UMass Amherst, the Commonwealth's flagship campus, is a nationally ranked public research university offering a full range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. The University sits on nearly 1,450-acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, and offers a rich cultural environment in a bucolic setting close to major urban centers.

Job Description

The Department of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is accepting applications for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor position to begin September 1, 2024. The preferred candidate will be an advanced assistant professor. Under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates at other ranks may receive consideration.

This position requires a specialization in Gender/Feminisms, Ethnography, and the Global South. The department has a strong preference for scholars whose work takes a transnational or global approach that focuses on Black, Indigenous, and/or Latinx critiques and communities and includes Global South locations. Candidates should have a demonstrated track record of outstanding academic or creative scholarship, as well as evidence of excellence in teaching and a commitment to service. The selected candidate will typically teach a 12 hour credit load, advise undergraduate and graduate students, and perform service duties for the Department, College, and University. If hired at a senior rank, they will also be expected to help mentor their colleagues.

Requirements

Ph.D. is required, preferably in Sociology or a closely related field. ABD candidates with an expected completion date by August 31, 2024 will be considered.

Teaching experience at the undergraduate level and a robust research or creative scholarship record are strongly preferred. A candidate who is eligible to be appointed at a mid-career or senior-level position will be reviewed for tenure on an expedited basis if the qualifications permit. They are expected to have at least five (5) years of experience in a tenure-track professorship post in Sociology, including undergraduate teaching experience and a robust record of research or creative scholarship.

Additional Information

Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications; salary and benefits are competitive. This position is eligible for membership in the Massachusetts Society of Professors, the faculty and librarian union at UMass Amherst.

UMass Amherst is a leader in providing institutional support for faculty to combine work and family/personal responsibilities and was listed among the Chronicle of Higher Education's "Great Colleges to Work For." For more information on work-life balance at UMass Amherst, see
