Kalamazoo College invites applications for a tenure track
position beginning in Fall 2022 at the assistant professor level in
the Anthropology and Sociology Department. 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.
Kalamazoo College is a nationally known liberal arts college of
approximately 1,450 students. The academic calendar includes three
ten-week teaching terms with a month-long December break. The
college offers an undergraduate experience that weaves a
traditional liberal arts curriculum into domestic and international
educational experiences. Kalamazoo College is a member of the Posse
Program and home of the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership.
The campus is located in a diverse and vibrant city in southwestern
Michigan, midway between Chicago and Detroit, and is the home of
the Kalamazoo Promise. The Kalamazoo area encompasses a community
of 335,000, which supports several college and university campuses
along with numerous civic arts and cultural associations.
Thirty-five miles from Lake Michigan, the area offers many
opportunities for outdoor activities.
Completed applications received by October 1, 2021
will receive full consideration, with later applications reviewed
as needed until the position is filled. Submit a cover letter,

goals, description of scholarly interests, a diversity and
