For the current position in Sociology of Health, we are seeking a scholar with a strong research trajectory that contributes to the strengths of the department, the university, and Atlanta.

Candidates should be prepared to teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, especially in the area of Sociology of Health, and to strive for excellence in teaching.
The Department supports a concentration in the field of health with core faculty and interdisciplinary collaborations across the university, including with the School of Medicine's MD-PhD program, Rollins School of Public Health's PhD-MPH program, and Emory College of Arts and Sciences' undergraduate major in human health, and in Atlanta with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Emory is an equal opportunity employer, and qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status or other characteristics protected by state or federal law.
Qualifications
Minimum qualifications include a PhD at the time of appointment. The appointment salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Application Instructions
A complete application will consist of a letter of application, curriculum vitae, research statement, teaching statement (including reflection on experience and vision regarding teaching and mentoring), no more than two writing samples, and three letters of recommendation. Application review will begin on October 1, 2026.* Applications received up to 30 days after this date will receive full consideration.
