General Description

As part of a strategic investment for a transformative expansion of the faculty of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University is poised for significant growth in the coming years.

We anticipate making at least these two appointments in 2024, with additional appointments likely in 2024 or soon thereafter.

Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should have a record of published scholarship and expect to have earned their Ph.D. prior to the effective date. Applicants at the Associate and Full professor levels should have a record of research, teaching, and service commensurate with appointment at these levels.

Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should submit three letters of recommendation (go to "Other Documents" and then to "Request A Recommendation). Applicants at the Associate and Full Professor level do not need to submit letters of recommendation at the application stage.
