Francis Marion University seeks applications for two tenure-track assistant professor positions, to start August, 2007. We need one colleague with specialization in gerontology and medical sociology to assume responsibility for courses in sociology of health, gerontology, and death & dying. We need another colleague with specialization in crime and delinquency to assume responsibility for courses in criminology, delinquency, and violence. We are supportive of creating additional courses to address other interests. Ability to teach sociological theory would be a plus. The teaching load will be 7 sections for the academic year (4-3 or 3-4). Offering one or two summer courses is an option. We require only 6 students for summer courses to make and pay 8.5 percent of base salary per course.
We encourage and support research in several ways. We offer summer research stipends for assistant professors, available on a competitive basis, with remuneration equal to one summer course. Up to $2,100 is available to cover research expenses or travel to meetings when presenting. The department provides additional small amounts that are unrestricted. A course release to work on research is available occasionally. Decisions regarding all those forms of support are made by faculty committees. Completion of earned doctorate in sociology by starting date is strongly preferred. Applicants should send letter describing teaching and research experience and interests, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation to Joel Thayer, Department of Sociology, Francis Marion University, Florence, SC 29501-0547.
