We invite applications from sociologists or geographers with expertise in survey research methods. Area of research is open, but an international focus is desired. As a truly joint department, all courses offered blur disciplinary boundaries.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated a high aptitude for and interest in undergraduate teaching, including contributing to the College’s “Shared Passages” core curriculum (first-year, sophomore, and senior seminars), a commitment to the liberal arts, and a desire to involve undergraduates in scholarship both in and out of the classroom. Ph.D. in Sociology, Geography, or a related discipline (or evidence it will be completed by September 1, 2022) is required.

We encourage applications from candidates whose intellectual and pedagogical approaches are effective in attracting and retaining students from historically underrepresented groups. The successful applicant will demonstrate a strong commitment to working with students, faculty and staff from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds.  Salary is competitive and consistent with level of experience. Kalamazoo College is on the trimester system and the teaching load is two courses per trimester.

The Kalamazoo area encompasses a community of 335,000, which supports several college and university campuses along with numerous civic arts and cultural associations.
