About the Role

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts at Mount Royal University invites applications for a tenure track position in sociology, which will commence on July 1, 2025, at the Rank of Assistant Professor, subject to final budgetary approval. Applicants need to have either completed or are in the final stages of completing their doctoral degree in sociology. The discipline of sociology is looking for a critical sociologist whose area of research and teaching complements and extends the current disciplinary focus on anti-racism, decolonialism, social justice, and structural transformation. The successful candidate will employ an intersectional sociological perspective in their study and will be expected to teach in one or more of the following areas: Social Research Methods (SLGY 2232), Quantitative Methods (slgy 3321), or Contemporary Social Theory (SLGY 3333). We invite candidates with demonstrated expertise and established research programs in any sociological field such as Anti-Black Racism; Anti-Asian Racism; Black Liberation; Climate Justice; Critical Race Theory; Disability Studies; Decolonial Theory and Methods; Institutional Ethnography; Social Policy and Governance; and Queer Theory. A commitment to decolonial and anti-racist perspectives in the curriculum is a priority.

Our combined Sociology and Anthropology department hosts faculty who pursue diverse research and teaching interests but work collaboratively to ensure the success of both disciplines. The successful candidate will be hired into the teaching/scholarship/service work pattern (TSS). The TSS work pattern has a focus on teaching with the requirement that the faculty member be involved in a research program as well as service to the Mount Royal community. The successful applicant must be willing to engage in course and program development.

Candidates will also be encouraged to teach courses in General Education in Cluster Three: Community and Society. The Department of General Education is responsible for the development and delivery of the liberal education component of all Mount Royal University undergraduate degree programs and offers required foundational first-year courses and a number of upper-level courses.

Qualifications

A Ph.D. in sociology is required, but the successful candidate may be ABD with the promise of timely completion. Applicants should have a proven record of excellence in scholarship and a clear plan to maintain an active research program.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. Mount Royal University is committed to employment equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism, and encourages applications from all qualified candidates, particularly from historically excluded and currently underrepresented scholars who identify as women; people of any sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression; Indigenous Peoples; racially minoritized; and people with disabilities.
