The University of Minnesota Department of Sociology invites applications for a sociologist doing research on immigration, internal migration, and/or human mobility broadly defined. The appointment will begin no earlier than August 27, 2007 and will be at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor, associate professor with tenure or professor with tenure, depending upon qualifications and consistent with Collegiate and University policy. The search is being conducted in partnership with ethnic studies units and the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) as part of a diversity initiative in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. Candidates will be expected to participate in both the undergraduate and graduate curricula, maintain an active research agenda, and contribute service appropriate to the appointment rank. Teaching and service contributions with partner units will be negotiated at the time of appointment. Salary is competitive. We will favor candidates whose dossiers demonstrate scholarly distinction and record of publication. Tenured scholars may apply by submitting a cover letter, current vita, and samples of written work; in addition to these materials, tenure-track candidates should also include evidence of teaching effectiveness or a commitment to teach, and three letters evaluating the applicant’s potential for scholarly distinction.
Priority will be given to completed applications received by October 15, 2006; later applications may be reviewed as needed. Applications may be faxed (612-626-0155), e-mailed socdept@soc.umn.edu, or mailed to:
