*Faculty Vacancy Notice Big Data, Data Analytics, or Data Science*

Often referred to as "the jewel of the CUNY system," Queens College is a
place of contrasts: An urban school in a suburban setting, where a large
and diverse student body receives personalized attention. This formula
has made us one of New York's premier educational institutions. With a
mission to prepare students to become leading citizens of an
increasingly global society, we offer a rigorous education in the
liberal arts and sciences under the guidance of a faculty dedicated to
both teaching and research. Our liberal arts, science, and
pre-professional programs earn us high rankings in prestigious college
guides such as The Princeton Review America's Best Value Colleges. Our
students graduate with the ability to think critically, address complex
problems, explore various cultures, use modern technologies and
information resources, and have won prominence in nearly every field.

The Department of Sociology seeks to fill a vacancy at the rank of
Assistant or Associate Professor. This is a tenure track position set to
start in Fall 2016.

We are seeking candidates with research experience in the area now often
called Big Data, Data Analytics, or Data Science. The ideal candidate is
someone who has applied quantitative and statistical techniques, using
large datasets, to important sociological issues. Familiarity with
emerging techniques and methods from computer science that enable these
sorts of analyses is most desirable. These areas of research are still
being defined, and we are looking for a candidate who can, in addition
to producing cutting edge research, help us to move our curriculum
forward at both the MA and BA level to incorporate an emphasis on big
data analytics. Most research-active faculty in the department have an
affiliation with the CUNY Graduate School Doctoral Program in Sociology
and such an affiliation would be possible for the successful candidate.

The Sociology Department at Queens College is currently the 4th largest
Sociology Department in the country. We have a research-active faculty
that places a premium on high quality scholarship with real-world
applications, and we support a public Sociology that emphasizes broad
dissemination of findings in highly regarded academic outlets as well as
to lay audiences and popular media.

Our undergraduate and graduate curriculum is unusual in its strong
emphasis on quantitative analysis and research methods. We seek to
emphasize these skills even more strongly by creating a specialized
undergraduate major in quantitative reasoning and data analytics,
compatible with our MA program in Data Analytics and Applied Social
Research (<http://qcbigdata.com>http://qcbigdata.com).

Our rigorous MA curriculum prepares graduates for promising careers in a
variety of fields - including market research, public opinion research,
program assessment, educational assessment, policy analysis, marketing
and advertising, and academic research - or to pursue doctoral work in
competitive PhD programs. Our program emphasizes advanced analytic
skills, including data handling, manipulation, interpretation, and
analysis. We also emphasize research process, preparing students to
conduct independent projects using a variety of research methods and
designs. We offer five concentrations, all sharing the basic core of
data analytics and applied research: Applied Social Research, Market
Research, Program Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Media and Marketing,
and Data Science (Big Data).

*QUALIFICATIONS*

Ph.D. degree in Sociology or related discipline and significant
experience doing teaching and research related to Data Science, Big
Data, or Data Analytics are required by time of appointment. Our ideal
candidate has a history of research publication and grants, social media
savvy, and an ambitious research agenda that incorporates Big Data
and/or advanced analytic techniques.

*COMPENSATION*

CUNY offers faculty a competitive compensation and benefits package
covering health insurance, pension and retirement benefits, paid
parental leave, and savings programs.  We also provide mentoring and
support for research, scholarship, and publication as part of our
commitment to ongoing faculty professional development.
