Emory position
Culture & China Search Advertisement – Emory Sociology
The Department of Sociology at Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the area of Culture, with a substantive focus on Chinese culture and society, to start Fall 2016. This substantive focus on China could include (but is not limited to) such topics as popular culture, consumption, cultural capital and education, social / symbolic boundaries, love and identity, urban scenes, or organizational culture. The candidate hired for this position will also have the honorific title of Confucius Institute Assistant Professor.
Funding for this Assistant Professor position, which will be housed fully in the Department of Sociology, will come from The Confucius Institute for five years, with funding for the next five years split equally between The Confucius Institute and Emory College of Arts and Sciences; after that, all funding will emanate from Emory.
Candidates should be prepared to teach culture courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels, with aspects of China being featured prominently in those courses. Candidates should have native or near-native fluency in Chinese and English. We would look favorably on those candidates whose research and teaching overlap with other key emphases in our department – namely, social psychology, health, and inequality.
The deadline for application is November 10, 2015. Candidates should have completed the PhD or be very close to completing the PhD by Fall 2016. Candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, research statement, teaching statement (including summary of teaching experiences and evaluations) and no more than two samples of publication to https://sjobs.brassring.com/1033/ASP/TG/cim_home.asp?partnerid=25066&siteid=5043 (Emory’s Brass Ring System).
Three letters of reference are to be sent to sociologysearch at emory.edu.
Please address procedural questions to Ms. Patricia Hamilton (phamil2 at emory.edu). Address all other questions to Prof. Timothy J. Dowd (tdowd at emory.edu), Chair of the Search Committee.
Emory University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Disability/Veteran employer. Women, minorities, persons with disabilities and veterans are encouraged to apply.
