DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION: The Program in Criminal Justice at Washington State University, Pullman Campus, announces one non-tenure track position search on a three year contract, renewable on good performance, at the level of Clinical Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, with appointment beginning August 16, 2010. A Ph. D. in Criminal Justice or a related social science field will be required by 8/15/2010. The position will have a 3/3 course teaching load based on a semester system.
QUALIFICATIONS: The successful candidates will be expected to teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses and, as part of the normal teaching load, participate in teaching technology-based distance learning courses; participate in the supervision and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students; and engage in the normal service activities for the Program, College, University, and local and professional communities. The Program seeks a generalist who is broadly trained in criminal justice. Applicants need to possess strong teaching credentials, skills and interests; be comfortable with cooperative teaching that crosses disciplinary boundaries; and have an interest in applied criminal justice policy. The substantive teaching interests and specialization of the successful candidate are open, but familiarity and background in global justice and security policies and issues will strengthen the application. Though the description for this position, and the evaluation of performance, stresses teaching and service, participation in available opportunities for research and publications is encouraged. Review of applications is tentatively scheduled to begin December 1, 2009, based on complete application files received by that date.
UNIVERSITY: Washington State University stresses graduate as well as undergraduate education and research which supports the informed development of progressive social policies; an environment of diversity, integrity and transparency; and global engagement in teaching, research and policy. The Program offers B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in Criminal Justice, and is committed to an integrated curriculum that emphasizes multi-disciplinary social science approaches to the study of local, national and international criminal justice institutions, criminal justice policies, and criminal behavior.
RANK AND SALARY: The appointment will be at the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor. The salary will be competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
APPLICATIONS: Candidates must provide a letter of application summarizing their qualifications and teaching interests, a current curriculum vitae, three current letters of recommendation, transcripts, teaching evaluations (if available), and any other optional supporting materials (e.g., conference papers, evidence of teaching effectiveness).
