"Full-time 24-month Limited Term Appointment in Criminology, Law, and Social Policy"

The Department of Sociology at Bishop’s University invites applications for a full-time 24-month limited term appointment in the area of Criminology, Law, and Social Policy, beginning July 1, 2026. An ability to teach courses in research methods is an asset but is not a requirement. As a full member of the department, the successful candidate will teach three courses per semester (fall and winter), participate in meetings and committees, and maintain an active research program. Candidates must possess a PhD (or be nearing completion), a research program in the area of study, a demonstrated history of teaching excellence, and be legally eligible to work in Canada as of July 1, 2026. More information about Bishop’s University and the Department of Sociology can be found at www.ubishops.ca.

Bishop’s University offers a wide range of undergraduate degree programs as well as selected graduate programs, with a strong emphasis on dynamic and effective teaching, experiential learning, and research and knowledge mobilization. Located in the beautiful Eastern Townships southeast of Montreal, our riverside campus has a growing and vibrant research culture, cohesive community, and collegial faculty, and staff.

Bishop’s University observes an equal access employment in public bodies for women, visible minorities, ethnic minority, Indigenous and disabled people (including the possibility of accommodation during the selection process). Candidates who anticipate needing accommodation for any part of the process may contact Human Resources at HR@ubishops.ca.

In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, but all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

Application packages are due March 16, 2026, and should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and contact information for three references.
