The Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Human Services at Hartwick College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor starting in Fall 2026 pending final administrative approval. We seek candidates with expertise in Criminal Justice, with preference given to those with the ability to teach Quantitative Methods, Forensic Science, and/or Introduction to Law. Though not necessary for this position, special attention will be paid to candidates who have experience or credentials in the social work field, including expertise in juvenile justice, court services, or other programs at the intersection of the justice system and social work. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in Sociology, Criminology or Criminal Justice, or ABDs close to the completion of their degree by the time of the appointment. Specific teaching assignments will include contributing to our department’s core courses, classes in the successful candidates’ specialties, and possibly general education courses, including First Year Seminars. Teaching load will average 20 semester credit hours or their equivalent per academic year, and all faculty members teach during the College’s distinctive four-week January Term. The successful candidate must be committed to excellence and innovation in undergraduate teaching. Tenure-track faculty are expected to actively engage in scholarly or creative activities. Committee service, including campus wide and departmental governance, and academic advising are expected for re-appointment, tenure, and promotion.
