Principal Duties: The Department of Sociology at Purdue University invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor positions in the area of criminology.

 

The first position is an Assistant/Associate in Criminology. We are particularly interested in those who are studying contemporary issues in the area of law and society and/or criminology with the use of innovative data or data techniques. Research focusing on corporate, finance, white collar, and organizational crime and those who can contribute to our new major in digital criminology are especially preferred.

  1. Social genomics
  2. Artificial Intelligence
  3. Cybersecurity
  4. Data, decision science, & social organizations
  5. Science, technology, and policy analysis

Beyond contributions of high-quality research aligned with the description above, part of that teaching assignment will be met by teaching in the first-year sequence of the College of Liberal Arts’ Cornerstone program. Candidates also will be expected to contribute to training and mentoring PhD students.

Qualifications: The positions require a Ph.D. degree in sociology or a related field. Preference will be given to candidates who can contribute expertise to the Advanced Methods at Purdue program through research that utilizes cutting-edge social science research methods. We expect the candidate will also train students in digital criminology and law and society.
