TT position Labor & Technology @ Queen’s University, Dept. of Sociology
The Department of Sociology at Queen’s University invites applications for a tenure- track position at the rank of Assistant Professor that centres on the future of work. We welcome applicants with a specialization in digital sociology, new media, or technology and who take a critical approach to social inequalities (such as indigeneity, race, gender and class). Evidence of an ability to teach in the areas of work and technology, and the dynamics of contemporary capitalism is considered an asset. This position has a preferred starting date of July 1, 2019, but a January 1, 2020 start is possible.
Candidates must have a PhD in Sociology or a related discipline completed or near completion at the start date of the appointment. The main criteria for selection are academic and teaching excellence. The successful candidate will provide evidence of high-quality scholarly output that demonstrates potential for independent research leading to peer assessed publications and the securing of external research funding, as well as strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and an ongoing commitment to academic and pedagogical excellence in support of the department’s programs. Candidates must provide evidence of an ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary and student-centered environment. The successful candidate will be required to make substantive contributions through service to the department, the Faculty, the University, and/or the broader community. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Queen’s expects that the successful candidate will demonstrate their ability to provide a rich and rewarding learning experience to all their students, and to develop a research program that aligns well with the University’s priorities. Further information on teaching and research priorities at Queen’s is available in the Queen’s Academic Plan, and the Queen’s Strategic Research Plan.
