The Department of Sociology at Hartwick College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor starting in August 2021, pending final administrative approval. We seek candidates with broad training in Sociology, with expertise in qualitative methods, who are prepared and interested in teaching introductory-level courses such as introduction to sociology and controversial social issues, mid-level courses such as theory and qualitative analysis, and courses related to social justice, such as race & ethnicity, for both Sociology and Criminal Justice majors. Minimum qualifications include a PhD in Sociology or closely related discipline (ABDs will be considered). 

Teaching load will average 20 semester credit hours or their equivalent per academic year, and all faculty members teach during the College’s distinctive four-week January Term. The successful candidate must be committed to excellence and innovation in undergraduate teaching, active engagement in scholarly and/or creative activities, and working closely with students in a small college environment. Committee service and academic advising also are requirements for tenure and promotion.

An independent, residential liberal arts college enrolling approximately 1,200 full-time undergraduates, Hartwick embraces the teacher-scholar model, with teaching excellence as the first priority, and seeks to recruit, retain and promote a diverse workforce. Located in the scenic Susquehanna River valley in Oneonta, NY, near the northern foothills of the Catskill Mountains, the College features a Liberal Arts education that prepares students with 21st century skills, embeds career development, and supports them with a personal Guidance Team.  

Hartwick offers health benefits to domestic partners of benefits eligible employees, and prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation/preference and gender identity/expression.
