Teaching Assistant Professor or Teaching Associate Professor, Social Justice and Human Rights
Location:
ASU†s West Campus
Position Type:
Non-tenure track, renewable
Open Date:
November 1, 2022
Position Description:
The Social Justice and Human Rights (SJHR) Program at Arizona State University invites applications for a Full time Teaching Assistant Professor or Teaching Associate Professor to contribute teaching and research expertise primarily in our online/digital immersion BA and MA programs. The successful candidate will teach 8 courses per year, most of which are asynchronous 7.5-week intensive sessions, but some campus-based teaching may also be required. In addition to teaching, teaching assistant professors and teaching associate professors must commit to providing service to the program, school, and university as part of their workload.
SJHR is a growing interdisciplinary program emphasizing the intersections of theory, method, and practice in the social sciences, and innovative research and engagement around timely and pressing issues. Our recently launched online BA and MA programs currently enroll approximately 200 majors, with an additional 50-60 majors attending our campus programs.
Faculty trained in Anthropology, Political Science, and Sociology collaborate in the development and teaching of online and campus courses that emphasize our combined expertise in the areas of (im)migration, refugees and asylum seekers, humanitarian intervention, gender equity and gender violence, human trafficking, international law and organizations, global justice, and grassroots advocacy and activism. The SJHR Program aligns with the Global Human Rights Hub, a pan-ASU research consortium comprised of working groups in the areas of Migration, Gender, International Law, and Trafficking.
