Position title:           Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, Tenure-Track (2)

Position description:

RUTGERS UNIVERSITY – NEWARK (RU-N) is an urban, public research university that is noted for the excellence of its academic programs and its diverse student body.  Newark is now one of the nation's largest college towns with 45,000 students attending a variety of higher education institutions.  RU-N enrolls more than 8,000 undergraduates and more than 4,000 graduate students. The RU-N community takes very seriously the urgent call to higher education today to prepare students for the world as it will be; produce scholarship that makes a difference in our city, state, nation, and world; increase access and affordability for increasingly diverse generations of students; fully recognize and reward faculty and staff for the full range of their roles; and get higher education out of its silo through collaborations locally and globally, while breaking down silos within. The university’s location is both a defining influence in its story and a distinctive strength, especially as it serves to attract talent: generations of students hungry for the opportunities afforded by gaining a first-rate higher education in a major American urban center, faculty who vigorously embrace the opportunity to produce high impact scholarship, engage the community, and prepare these students for professional success and informed citizenship in an increasingly complex world, and staff committed to advancing an inclusive campus culture focused on excellence.

 The School of Criminal Justice (SCJ) is based on Rutgers University’s Newark campus and is a major national and international center for scholarly research on all aspects of policing, delinquency, crime, and criminal justice administration.  This provides a basis for its educational programs that also fulfill public service obligations by helping to address the needs of criminal justice agencies within the city, state, nation, and world.   SCJ’s faculty includes some of the top scholars in the field.  Its long established Ph.D. program continues to set the standard for doctoral training, and SCJ’s graduating students are highly sought after by universities recruiting new faculty.  All of the degree programs offered by SCJ provide classroom as well as research opportunities that prepare students for positions in research, teaching, and criminal justice system management and policymaking. 

QUALIFICATIONS

The School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, invites applications for two tenure-track assistant professor positions for Fall 2018.  Innovative and multidisciplinary academic scholars who study contemporary issues related to crime and justice are encouraged to apply.  Applicants must address the needs of a long-established criminal justice program, which include work on evolving forms of crime (such as environmental crimes, organized crimes, terrorism, cybercrimes and transnational and international crimes) or work in core criminological or criminal justice areas such as policing, corrections, crime prevention, and sentencing and the courts.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. on appointment and those with well-developed research agendas are particularly encouraged to apply. Rutgers School of Criminal Justice is committed to diversity in both academic and personal backgrounds.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate courses in some of the following areas: theories of crime and justice, criminal law and the courts, corrections and sentencing, policing and crime prevention.  In addition to teaching, all faculty are expected to sustain an active record of scholarly work and publications, advise and mentor students, assist the department with administrative and/or committee responsibilities, participate in professional conferences, and contribute to campus-wide committees.
