Sociology

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology invites applications for a tenure track appointment in sociology at the level of assistant professor or instructor, beginning Fall 2008. Fields are open but we are particularly interested in candidates whose research and teaching focus on race/ethnicity, with specialization in transnational race/ethnic formations, immigration, and/or multiracial identity. While race/ethnicity is of primary interest, other fields of interest include media, cultural studies, and religious or political conflict.

Please submit letter of application, curriculum vitae, and writing sample. Bowdoin College is accepting electronic or paper submissions; however, electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. To submit electronically, please visit Careers@Bowdoin. Three letters of reference should be sent via e-mail to: soc_anth_refs@bowdoin.edu or by mail to:
