<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:rgb(13,13,13)">The Ohio University Departments of Geography and Sociology/Anthropology
invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Rural
Development, with specialization in the areas of poverty and/or inequality and
related expertise in community, development, or environmental sustainability,
beginning in fall of 2015. A focus on the Appalachian region is strongly
preferred, though we will welcome applications from candidates whose research
focuses on other rural geographic areas within the U.S. Methodological
expertise may include qualitative, quantitative, or spatial analytical methods.
The successful candidate should conduct research that is theoretically
innovative and empirically grounded, and be committed to teaching excellence at
the undergraduate and graduate levels. This position will contribute to the new
interdisciplinary curriculum theme on Wealth and Poverty in the College of Arts
and Sciences. Interested applicants can learn more about the Wealth and Poverty
theme here: <a href="http://www.ohio.edu/cas/undergrad/themes/wealth-poverty/index.cfm">www.ohio.edu/cas/undergrad/themes/wealth-poverty/index.cfm</a>.
The position will be housed in either the Department of Geography or
Sociology/Anthropology depending on the successful applicant’s discipline. A
Rural Development position with tenure home in the Department of Geography
would complement Geography’s Urban Planning and Sustainability major, providing
a comprehensive applied focus to existing theoretical strengths and make a meaningful
regional contribution to Geography’s Globalization and Development major. The
Rural Development position with tenure home in the Department of Sociology and
Anthropology would complement Sociology’s strengths in social inequality and
social change as well as race/class/gender and would contribute to Sociology’s
historical strength in Appalachian scholarship.</span></p>
