Line Assistant information

What is a line assistant?

Line Assistants are support personnel who help with the smooth operation of production or assembly lines in manufacturing, food processing, or similar industries. Their responsibilities typically include preparing materials, monitoring equipment, assisting operators, and ensuring that products meet quality standards. They play a key role in maintaining workflow efficiency and may also help with cleaning, minor maintenance, and reporting issues to supervisors. Line Assistants often work as part of a team and need to follow safety and operational guidelines closely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a line assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Line Assistant, you need a solid understanding of manufacturing processes, attention to detail, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with assembly line machinery, safety protocols, and inventory tracking systems is typically required. Strong teamwork, time management, and the ability to follow instructions precisely are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial to ensure efficient workflow, product quality, and a safe working environment on the production line.

What are some common challenges faced by line assistants, and how can they be effectively managed?

Line Assistants often encounter challenges such as maintaining a consistent workflow during high-volume production periods and quickly adapting to changes in product specifications or equipment. Effective communication with team members and supervisors is essential to address issues promptly and minimize downtime. Staying organized, following safety protocols, and proactively monitoring the production line can help Line Assistants manage these challenges efficiently and contribute to the overall success of the team.

Job description

American University is a student-centered research institution located in Washington, DC, with highly-ranked schools and colleges, internationally-renowned faculty, and a reputation for creating meaningful change in the world.

Department: School of Public Affairs

Time Type: Full time

FLSA Status: Exempt

The Department of Justice, Law, Criminology & Security in the School of Public Affairs at American University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-line Assistant or Associate Professor position, beginning in the 2027-2028 academic year. The department seeks an established scholar with substantive expertise in criminological theory and a demonstrated research agenda examining race, structural inequality, and social production of crime and justice outcomes.

The successful candidate will strengthen the department’s capacity in foundational criminological theory while contributing to contemporary scholarship and debate that advances understanding of inequality within the criminal justice system.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in criminology, sociology, or other closely related discipline; a J.D. or LL.M. alone does not satisfy this requirement. Candidates must demonstrate excellence in scholarly research, effective teaching, and professional accomplishment commensurate with appointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank. Competitive candidates will have a sustained record of publication in high-quality peer-reviewed outlets, expertise in social science research methods, and the capacity to contribute to mentoring doctoral students, program development, and other forms of academic leadership.

All faculty are expected to hold office hours and participate in department, school, and university activities and service. Teaching responsibilities will include required and elective courses. Possible courses include Criminology Theory, Race and Justice, research methods, and other areas aligned with the applicant’s expertise.

Salary and benefits are competitive, with an expected salary range of $90,000-$120,000.

  • Benefits AU offers a competitive benefits package.

Review of applications will begin on September 28, 2026, and will continue until the position is filled, subject to ongoing budgetary approval. The position begins on August 1, 2027. Applicants should have a PhD or an anticipated PhD completion date by August 2027.

Hiring offers for this position are contingent on successful completion of a background check. Employees in staff positions at American University must deliver their services to the university from either the District of Columbia, Maryland, or Virginia, or perform work on-site at the university. American University is an E-Verify employer.

The university does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy), age, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, personal appearance, gender identity and expression, family responsibilities, political affiliation, source of income, veteran status, an individual’s genetic information or any other bases under federal or local laws (collectively "Protected Bases") in its programs and activities.
