The candidate will join a dynamic multi-disciplinary department and help meet high demand among students seeking careers in policing, law enforcement, and similar criminal justice fields. The successful candidate will also have an appreciation for the relevance of social and cultural diversity to understanding crime and crime control.

Candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Criminology, Sociology, or a closely related discipline; ABD applicants who anticipate completion of the doctorate by Fall 2026, and who have clear evidence of effective teaching, will also be considered. Please note a Juris Doctor degree alone is not an adequate qualification for consideration.
