The Sociology Department in the Faculty of Arts at Kwantlen Polytechnic University invites applications for a faculty position with a one-year term (non-regular, 100% load) beginning January 2013. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (Sociology preferred) proven teaching record, and promise of scholarly potential. The successful candidate will be expected to teach Introduction to Sociology, Statistics, and Quantitative Research Methods.
Our department offers a BA (Minor and Major) in Sociology. The Bachelor of Arts, Major in Sociology combines theoretical, research, and applied components in the curriculum. Our BA Major/Minor in Sociology is based on critical, practical, and transformative approaches to local and global issues with an emphasis on student-faculty collaborations and student-centered scholarly research. Our degree also combines the benefits of our exceptional teaching environment - which includes class sizes of 25 to 35 students - with the evolving needs of local, regional, and global communities and markets. We offer unique learning experiences in applied settings with academic rigor and a well-rounded education in various sub-fields in the discipline. The BA Major in Sociology is the only program of this kind in British Columbia that involves a practicum component, which provides students with the opportunity to volunteer in local or global contexts in community based settings, make employment contacts, and apply knowledge they have learned in class in the field.
A complete application includes a current curriculum vitae, copies of transcripts, a representative writing sample, names of three referees, and a teaching portfolio that includes a statement of teaching philosophy and pedagogy and student course evaluations for two post-secondary courses.
