Sociology of Health Tenure Track Position

The Department of Sociology at Emory University invites applications for a tenure-track position focusing on the Sociology of Health. This position will be at the level of Assistant Professor or, for the extraordinary file, tenured at the Associate Professor level, and it will commence in Fall 2020.

The study of health is a core programmatic area at Emory Sociology, with several of our faculty doing research and teaching in that area. This programmatic area is also enlivened by our close ties to scholars beyond the College at Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health, the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing, as well as at the nearby Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

We are seeking a scholar who has broad expertise in the Sociology of Health and has an ability to link that expertise to one or more of our programmatic areas in inequality, social psychology, or culture. We value cutting edge research that adopts a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as a range of substantive foci. Candidates should be prepared to teach Sociology of Health / Healthcare courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and we look favorably on those candidates who could also teach core courses in either theory or methods.

A complete application will consist of a letter of application, curriculum vitae, research and teaching statements, no more than two writing samples, and three letters of recommendation. Please submit (along with other materials) a brief statement that reflects upon your experience and vision regarding the teaching and mentorship of students from diverse backgrounds. Application review will begin on October 9, 2019. Applications received up to 30 days after review begins will receive full consideration.
