Department Chair, Department of Social Sciences, Illinois Institute of Technology

The Department of Social Sciences at Illinois Institute of Technology seeks applicants for the position of department chair. Candidates should have experience with academic leadership; a terminal degree in political science, sociology, geography, public policy, urban planning or a closely related field; and a research record appropriate for appointment at the rank of Full Professor. A successful candidate will show an interest in developing dynamic partnerships with STEM- and policy-related fields, in both curricular and interdisciplinary research initiatives, and will speak to how their research, teaching, or leadership activities have contributed, or will contribute, to a more inclusive and equitable environment in the relevant sectors. Therefore, we seek an individual experienced with interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs who has the ability to take a leadership role in developing new programs and expand existing ones; who will work to connect the social sciences to other areas of strength on the Illinois Tech campus; whose teaching can contribute to our existing curriculum and our planned growth; and who could lead pedagogical efforts to work with Chicago area communities, including the Bronzeville neighborhood where the Illinois Tech campus is located.

THE DEPARTMENT

Situated within the Lewis College of Science and Letters, the Department of Social Sciences has eight full-time faculty members. The department offers bachelor’s degrees in social and economic development policy and in global studies, as well as a new BS degree in science, technology, and society. In addition to its bachelor’s programs, the department plays a central role in delivering the core curriculum requirements of the university. The department also works with the university’s Chicago-Kent College of Law and Stuart School of Business to deliver joint, accelerated courses of study, allowing social sciences undergraduates interested in graduate study in law or public policy and administration to earn those degrees faster. The department is presently developing a joint MS program in Computational Social Sciences with the College of Computing.

As such, diversity and inclusion are part of the day-to-day experience at Illinois Tech and a central component of its culture. Illinois Tech is home to a diverse and global student population, is committed to providing opportunities to enhance the diversity of its faculty and staff, and strongly encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply for this position, especially those underrepresented in the field.
