The Department of Criminology in the School of Culture and Society at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor position starting in Fall 2010.

The Department strives to become a national exemplar in undergraduate liberal arts education and is in the process of developing a new vision that is both quantitative and internationally comparative in nature. Thus, the applicant will be expected to significantly contribute toward the development of a curriculum that will integrate quantitative and analytical reasoning, research methods, and criminology into a meaningful classroom experience.

The successful candidate will be responsible for effective teaching, research, service, and advising, including the development of collaborative relationships with faculty in related social science disciplines, mathematics and statistics, and criminal justice agencies in order to bring the richness of applied quantitative methodology into the educational process. The typical teaching load is three courses per semester, along with advising.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in criminology, criminal justice, or a related discipline and must provide evidence of a strong commitment to teaching as well as a record of scholarship. All candidates must demonstrate development of and plans for a research program that integrates their teaching and scholarly interests. While the area of specialization is open, preference will be given to those candidates with a specialization in one of three areas: criminology and mental health, victimology, or policing.

The School of Culture and Society enrolls about 2200 majors across 12 BA programs. The Department of Criminology is the academic home for four full-time and five part-time faculty members and approximately 150 student majors.
