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. In addition, the University is part of the Five Colleges (including Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and Smith College), which adds to the intellectual energy of the region.
Job Description
The interdisciplinary Legal Studies Program of the Department of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is accepting applications for a full-time (academic year) non-tenure track lecturer. We welcome applications from scholars whose teaching and research focuses on law and society in the Global South, specifically, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and/or the Middle East. The successful candidate will offer courses that take a regional approach to law and society (e.g., Law and Society in Africa), and/or courses that focus on a substantive area (e.g., gender, sexuality, punishment, Indigenous rights, property law, policing, etc.) with a focus on the Global South.
This is a one-year position, with the expectation of renewal based on programmatic needs, funding, and the candidate's performance. It is expected to start on September 1, 2024. The teaching load for the position is 3-3, including upper division classes of the successful candidate's choosing, as well as the potential for joining the Introduction to Legal Studies course rotation. Teaching decisions will be made in consultation with the Director of the Legal Studies Program.
The successful candidate may also participate in the New Directions in Law and Society Conference, to be held on the UMass Amherst Campus on September 27, 2024.
Requirements
Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Criminology, or other applicable discipline by the appointment start date.
Additional Information
