The Sociology Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professorship. We seek candidates whose expertise includes quantitative empirical analysis and research in demography, migration, and inequality especially with respect to Latin America and the Caribbean. Other areas of expertise are open but we especially encourage applications from candidates with interdisciplinary interests in one or more of the following areas: international migration; labor; social justice; globalization and governance; and identity and inequality.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to research, teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels (including classroom), and service for the department in areas such as: quantitative data and data analysis found in sociological research; research methods; introduction to sociology; labor studies; migration; and U.S. Latinx identities.
In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to a new Masters of Science degree program in quantitative data analysis in the Social Sciences. The work that the successful candidate performs for the MS program in the course of their affiliation is expected to be the equivalent of one course per year, along with advising students and associated service responsibilities.
The ability to contribute significantly to graduate education, doctoral supervision, and the mentoring of graduate students is highly desirable.
