Job Description

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology for the 2026-27 academic year with the possibility of renewal. We are seeking candidates with a PhD in sociology who have a demonstrated commitment to teaching a diverse undergraduate student body in a residential liberal arts setting. Candidates who have substantially completed a PhD may also be considered. Area of specialization is open but preference will be given to those with experience teaching social theory and introduction to sociology. Carleton College operates on a trimester calendar, and the position entails teaching six courses over three ten-week terms.

Carleton is committed to developing its faculty to better reflect the breadth of our student body and American society. Members of underrepresented groups at Carleton are strongly encouraged to apply.

To apply, please visit the Carleton College web site at

to complete the online application by submitting a cover letter, CV, a statement describing your teaching and approach to working with undergraduate students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Please also include two syllabi, one for a social theory course designed for 15-20 majors, and one for an introduction to sociology course (capped at 30 students) geared toward first years and sophomores. After passing through an initial screening process, applicants may receive a request for the contact information for three references, including at least one who is able to specifically address teaching experience. Applications received on or before February 2, 2026 will be given full consideration. For questions, please contact Liz Raleigh, Chair of the Sociology and Anthropology Department, at [email protected].
