Tenure Track Quantitative Analysis and Data Science (Open Rank)

Saint Louis University, a Catholic, Jesuit institution dedicated to student learning, research, health care and service, is seeking applicants for a tenure-track, open-rank position in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, to begin in Fall 2024. The area of expertise is also open, but the candidate should contribute to the department’s strengths in quantitative methods, computational social science, as well as an emerging College-level program in applied data science.  

The department has strengths in health, immigration, race and ethnic relations, social inequality, research methods, and interdisciplinary urban scholarship. The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is strongly committed to SLU’s Mission for Faculty Diversity and Excellence. Our new colleague will contribute to our department’s commitments to support the success of students from historically marginalized economic, social, and cultural groups. Duties include teaching courses in the candidate’s areas of expertise, as well as statistics at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels. Candidates will have the opportunity to develop new courses in their areas of expertise in the newly established university Core. Candidates are expected to participate in service and maintain an active program of published research. Research-active faculty in our department normally teach two courses each semester.

Scholars working in the following disciplinary areas are encouraged to apply: sociology, demography, public policy, anthropology, geography, and allied fields. 

Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent degree for appointment. The successful candidate will demonstrate scholarly achievement and promise, dedication to graduate and undergraduate teaching and mentorship, a commitment to service at the department, college, and university levels, and a willingness to contribute to the continued development of a methodologically diverse and collaborative department. Regardless of their own religious affiliation, the successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to the University’s Catholic and Jesuit mission, which affirms the importance of diversity and fosters an inclusive work environment (https://www.slu.edu/about/catholic-jesuit-identity/mission.php).
