University of Victoria: Assistant Professor
The Department of Sociology is dedicated to advancing social justice and sociological knowledge through a broad range of methodological and theoretical perspectives. The department offers BA, MA, and PhD degrees. The department’s strategic plan calls for advancing research and teaching in four main areas of specialization: Health, Aging, and Society; Ecology, Global Issues, and Social Movements; Gender, Racialization, and Ethnicity; and the Sociology of Crime, Deviance, and Law. The department is strongly committed to both excellence and equity, and to increasing the diversity of approaches and perspectives in teaching and research.
The Department of Sociology invites applications from talented scholars for a tenure-track position in the area of Environmental Sociology at the rank of Assistant Professor to commence on 1 July 2026. We are especially interested in applicants with additional expertise in areas such as climate change, gender, and capitalism.
