The posting

  The Department of Sociology, Criminology & Criminal Justice in the College of Arts & Sciences at Sacred Heart University invites applications for an on-ground Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position to begin in August 2027. We seek a colleague committed to excellent undergraduate teaching and an active scholarly agenda. Generalists are welcome, and we encourage applicants from all areas of criminology and criminal justice to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach core courses in the criminal justice major such as introduction to corrections, along with introduction to criminal justice, research methods, as well as courses that support our criminology minor.   The Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Criminal Justice at Sacred Heart University brings together faculty who study crime, justice, and social inequality from sociological and criminological perspectives. Our undergraduate programs combine rigorous theoretical grounding with applied learning, preparing students for careers in the justice system, human services, and public policy, as well as for graduate and professional study. Faculty are active scholars who mentor students closely, and our students benefit from small classes, research opportunities, and internship experiences. The department is growing and, in the Spring of 2028, we will launch a new Master of Arts in Criminology & Criminal Justice (MCCJ). The program will prepare students for advanced roles in the justice system and related fields and provide a foundation for doctoral study. Our forthcoming MCCJ program reflects the department's commitment to evidence-based practice, social justice, and community engagement. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach and mentor graduate students.   Responsibilities: The successful candidate will:

Teach core courses required of the criminal justice major, including Introduction to Corrections, along with Introduction to Criminal Justice, Research Methods, and courses that support our Criminology minor.

  Requirements:

As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage applications from qualified candidates who reflect the wider world in which we live.   Please direct any questions to the Department Chair, Dr. Bethany Van Brown at [email protected]

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
