Job description
Location: Chestnut Hill, MA
Description:
The Department of Sociology and the Environmental Studies Program at Boston College invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in environmental sociology to begin in Fall of 2021. While open to all topics within environmental sociology, we are particularly interested in scholars who can contribute to disciplinary and interdisciplinary conversations around the issues of climate change, environmental justice and policy, and environment and public health. We will also prioritize candidates whose work within environmental sociology intersects with other areas of specialization within the Department of Sociology’s graduate program (see https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/sociology/people/faculty-clusters.html), and who can participate in interdisciplinary research with other faculty affiliated with the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society (see https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/centers/schiller-institute.html). The tenure line is housed in the Sociology Department, and the position entails half-time teaching in Environmental Studies, which is an undergraduate major, and half-time in the Department of Sociology, which has both graduate (Ph.D. and M.A.) and undergraduate programs.
Qualifications:
A Sociology Ph.D. completed, or near completion, is required.
How to apply
Boston College is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer
