Assistant Professor of Sociology | Montana State University

Assistant Professor of Sociology

The Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Montana State University invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor position to begin August 2025. We seek applicants who can contribute to undergraduate teaching in the criminology option. We are open to all areas of specialization in criminology and/or criminal justice, and have current teaching needs in areas such as (but not limited to) (1) criminology and corrections, (2) courts and sentencing, (3) sociology of law/law and society, and (4) policing.

The Department of Sociology & Anthropology values all perspectives and is committed to continually supporting, promoting and building a whole community, which includes people of many backgrounds. As such, applicants from underrepresented groups in sociology and criminology are particularly encouraged to apply.

Guest Lecturer: Grant Duwe

On September 30 at 3:00 pm, Grant Duwe will virtually visit CCJS653: Seminar in Corrections. Dr. Stewart is extending an invitation to anyone who is interested to join the conversation, which will focus in part on developing risk assessments and applied corrections research and on nonacademic paths after grad school.

Grant received his Ph.D. in criminology from Florida State University and has been Director of Research and Evaluation for the Minnesota Department of Corrections for more than 15 years. He’s one of the most active DOC researchers in the US, having published in CPP, JQC, JEC, Corrections, etc., and he was the inaugural recipient of the ASC Corrections & Sentencing’s Practitioner Research Award for developing the Minnesota Screening Tool Assessing Recidivism Risk (MnSTARR).

This is a great opportunity for those considering a nonacademic path or who are interested in corrections research… or anyone, really!
