Dear colleagues, My apologies for a repeat posting but I really want to encourage applications for this position from GEP folks as well as your help in spreading the word. I came to the Illinois Institute of Technology last spring and have been very excited about the possibility for growth. My department offers an interdisciplinary social science degree in Social and Economic Development Policy which seeks to engage issues related to sustainability, broadly defined. And we have just started planning, in cooperation with our Humanities Department, a new degree in Science, Technology and Society. We are hiring at the associate professor level because we are looking for someone who can help provide leadership and direction for the social science components of the program. Advanced assistant profs are encouraged to apply. The Humanities folks include scholars doing history and philosophy of science and engineering, ethics, digital humanities and big data, making the possibilities for collaboration, cross-fertilization and innovation very exciting. We, quite honestly, do not have a specific discipline in mind for the successful candidate: political science, sociology, anthropology, geography, economics, planning, etc. or relevant interdisciplinary fields, will be given equal consideration. The only exceptions are psychology and history since they belong to different departments here.
I would be happy to answer any questions. Best wishes, Jonathan [email protected] 312-567-5188 -- Jonathan Rosenberg, PhD Professor of Political Science Chair, Department of Social Sciences Illinois Institute of Technology Siegel Hall 116E 3301 S.
