This Fall, the Brown University Sociology Department will be recruiting for a tenure track position in Organizational Sociology, at the Assistant Professor level. We’ve defined our search as broadly as possible, and we’d welcome applicants from any field in the general domain of Organizational Sociology, Economic Sociology, Work and Occupations, and Organizational Theory.  We’re particularly interested in candidates who can build on our department’s strengths in development, environment, health, urban studies, demography, and spatial analysis, or who can connect in interesting ways with Brown’s interdisciplinary activities in entrepreneurship, innovation, international studies, and healthcare.

Brown offers a vibrant organizations community, with an interdisciplinary faculty, a lively graduate program, and engaged and intrepid undergraduates.  The university is situated in a wonderfully hospitable locale, with affordable housing (by Northeastern standards!), abundant coastline, ready access to Boston, rail links to the entire Eastern seaboard, and convenient domestic and international air travel.   Brown is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, with a strong commitment to fostering diversity at all levels.  We enthusiastically encourage applicants from underrepresented groups, who can share in the diversity of our growing intellectual community!

Potential candidates should note the relatively early application date:  Monday, September 15.  All application materials should should be submitted via Interfolio, using the link in the attached position listing.

Thanks in advance for passing this along!

Best,
Mark Suchman
Search Committee Chair
