Ohio University has two one year replacement openings, although one could
be hired as tenure track in an extraordinary set of circumstances. One is
at the main branch, and requires someone to teach intro soc, crim and
another upper division crim course, preferably in policing or
corrections. The other is at the Eastern branch, near to Wheeling, WVA
(underrated as a great ethnic neighborhood and restaurant city) and is
again looking for a sociologist who can both teach undergraduate soc
courses and some of the soc courses that are part of their BCJ degree
(crim, JD, penology, CJ). The latter job could be hired in at the tenure
track level, or as a one-year job that is already authorized to convert
into tenure track. Below is the letter that I sent out to a variety of
doctoral departments. Please note the short deadline.
TWO CRIMINOLOGY POSITIONS: Ohio University seeks two visiting assistant
professor or visiting lecturer positions in sociology to fill emergency
replacement needs. The first position, at the main campus in Athens,
requires a person who can teach multiple large sections of introduction to
sociology, plus undergraduate courses in criminology. The ability to teach
a course in policing or corrections would be helpful. Teaching load is 9
credits per quarter (two courses), and in general the candidate will not be
asked to do committee work. The department (24 FTE) will provide full
basic support such as travel, private office, and computer. This position
is ideal for a person who is an advanced doctoral candidate and wishes to
use the year to work on a dissertation or articles. The criminology
library is exceptionally strong in a library system that is nationally
noted in both serials and the general collection. Ohio University is a
state-assisted residential selective admission Research II university
located in the scenic Appalachian foothills 75 miles southeast of
Columbus. Athens is a prototypical college town typically listed in guides
to good places to live, and best arts communities. Ohio University is
widely cited in various college guides for best value, best value added
education, etc. Enrollment on the Athens campus currently is 19,500
students with another 8,000 students on five regional campuses. Though
students are predominantly from Ohio, the university enrolls students from
all 50 states and from more than 100 countries. University information is
available at http://www.ohiou.edu, and there is a departmental web page at
http://www.cas.ohiou.edu/socanth. Send cover letter, curriculum vitae,
evidence of teaching effectiveness if available, and have up to three
letters of reference sent to Martin D. Schwartz, Professor and Chair,
Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ohio University, Athens, OH
45701-2979, by May 23, 2000. Inquiries may be made to
Schwartz@ohio.edu. AA/EO Employer; minorities and women are strongly urged
to apply.
The second position is at the Ohio University Eastern campus in St.
Clairsville, OH, not far from Wheeling, WVA. This position might be open
as a tenure track position in exceptional circumstances, or might be
available for an ABD who wished to apply for the tenure track position
during the year. The candidate must be able to both teach in a sociology
program and also teach the sociology/criminology courses in a bachelor's
degree in criminal justice. Make inquiries to Ron Nate, Chair, Search
Committee, OU-Eastern, 45425 National Road West, St. Clairesville, OH
43950. Nater@ohio.edu
