Assistant/Associate Professor of Criminal Justice & Criminology – Tenure-Track The Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology at Georgia State University invites applications for one tenure-track position at the level of assistant or associate professor beginning August 2014. Areas of expertise are open, but the department is particularly interested in candidates who possess strong quantitative skills and who will contribute to graduate course offerings in statistics and quantitative methods. Substantively, preference will be given to candidates with research and teaching interests in violence, policing, or gender. The position is a nine-month appointment with annual review and the possibility of summer teaching. A Ph.D. in Criminal Justice, Criminology, or related social science is required (ABDs may apply, but degree must be in hand by the start of employment). A J.D. alone is not sufficient for this position. University teaching experience and a demonstrated record of research and publication are preferred. Candidates for associate professor should have a track record of exceptional scholarship and external funding consistent with the rank. Review of applications will begin October 1, 2013 and will continue until the position is filled. Housed in the internationally recognized Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, the department offers degrees at the baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral levels. Faculty members are involved in a wide array of research and public service efforts and have a history of significant funding from federal, state, and local agencies. The department maintains a focus on issues of crime and violence in urban areas and is a key member of the university’s Partnership for Urban Health Research, the university’s Cities Initiative, and the Emory Center for Injury Control.
