Job Announcement - full-time Assistant Teaching Professor, Dept. of Social Sciences at the Illinois Inst. of Technology
Faculty Position at Illinois Tech Department of Social Sciences
Position Description:
The Department of Social Sciences at the Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) seeks a full-time Assistant Teaching Professor. Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate courses in social science, both for majors and non-majors. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach in environmental studies, science and technology policy, and computational social science. The initial appointment for this non-tenure position will be for 3 (renewable years), pending successful completion of a one-year probationary period. Renewal is possible assuming continued need and mutual concurrence, and sustained excellence in this role may allow for promotion to Associate and Full Teaching Professor.
We are looking for individuals whose courses and teaching methods feature policy-relevant methods and knowledge, facilitate community engagement (Illinois Tech prides itself on project-based education), and teach our students to understand and work in diverse human, natural, and built environments. There are many opportunities to pedagogically work directly with Chicago area communities, including the Bronzeville neighborhood where the Illinois Tech campus is located.
The successful candidate will join a collegial interdisciplinary social science department in one of the country’s leading technological institutes. Currently the Department of Social Sciences offers three interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science degrees: Social and Economic Development Policy, with urban and international concentrations; Science, Technology and Society; and Global Studies. We also serve the general education needs of students in other departments and majors, emphasizing the social, political, and economic interests of the communities that they will serve during their professional careers. Some examples of courses that are regularly taught are Fieldwork Methods; Politics and Public Policy; Comparative Public Policy; Technology and Social Change; and State and Local Government.
Illinois Tech is a private Ph.D.-granting research university with world-renowned programs in engineering, architecture, the sciences, humanities and social sciences, psychology, business, law, and design. Founded in 1890, Illinois Tech was built on the promise to provide access to higher education for students from all different backgrounds and to make a difference in the world through technology-oriented education. This guiding mission and purpose – where students, including those underrepresented in technology, could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing industrial society and achieve professional and economic advancement – remains just as relevant today. 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.
Required qualifications:
Candidates must have a PhD or international equivalent from an accredited university in a social science field that addresses core social science topics, theories, and methods in environmental studies, science and technology policy, and computational social science.
Required information:
Applicants should submit the following:
1) A cover letter
2) Curriculum Vitae
3) A description of the candidate’s capability and interest to teach in any of our three expected and broadly conceived growth areas: environmental studies, science and technology policy, and computational social science.
4) A statement of teaching philosophy including approaches to teaching or mentoring a diverse population of students and contributing to equity, diversity and inclusion.
5) A letter including the names and contact information of three references.
6) If applicable, a list of courses taught in the social sciences.
Detailed expectations:
The selected candidate will teach 3 courses each semester (fall and spring). The selected candidate will be a full and valued member of the department, mentor and advise undergraduates, and participate in various committees and departmental initiatives, including the shaping of a new strategic plan for the department. Opportunities for summer teaching employment and potential administrative duties may also be available for qualified candidates.
Timing:
The appointment will start on January 1st, 2023; the spring semester starts on January 9th, 2023.

RSPP Call for Papers | Special Issue on Region's role on recovery and resilience
Regional Science Policy & Practice (RSPP) Call for Papers
Special Issue on Region's role on recovery and resilience
Guest Editors
Motivation
The first two decades of the twenty-first century brought two important and distinct shocks to the world economy: the 2007–2009 Great Recession (a global economic downturn that devastated world financial markets as well as the banking and real estate industries) and the COVID-19 pandemic crisis (with effects still to be adequately understood).
Countries and regions reacted differently to these shocks because the direct shocks were initially felt differently and because the sectoral structure and the integration in the global value chains defined the propagation of distinct indirect and induced effects. As a result, diverse rhythms of recovery in distinct regions are to be expected over the coming years.
Understanding what distinguishes each region, the role of spatial heterogeneity, and how the sectoral and social structures affect the recovery and resilience of the regions is an essential avenue of research and knowledge in regional science and regional economics. This was undoubtedly the view and belief of our Portuguese colleague, Pedro Ramos, full-professor at the University of Coimbra, former director of the Portuguese Review of Regional Studies (RPER), and one of the precursors of the EU-REAL group. Sadly, he passed away in 2021, leaving behind a relevant legacy. This special issue of RSPP will cover one of the main topics addressed by Pedro throughout his long career: the integration of spatial dimension in economic modelling.
Invitation for submission
The Editors invite submissions to the special issue of Regional Science Policy & Practice titled “Region's role on recovery and resilience”. The Editors extend an invitation for submission to the colleagues who have participated in the 2022 EU-REAL meeting (Warsaw, Poland, September 2022) and/or the 9th SHAIO Conference (Aveiro, Portugal, September 2022).
Please note that the deadline for submitting papers to https://rsaiconnect.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/17577802 for the RSPP Special Issue on Region's role on recovery and resilience is February 28, 2023, with foreseen publication of accepted papers in 2023.

RSAI-BIS Early Career Colloquium - 3-4 November 2022
Dear all,
Our popular Early Career Colloquium is returning as an online event, taking place on 3-4 November 2022. This is a great opportunity for PhD students and early career researchers within 3 years of their PhD to present and discuss their work with experienced academics in their field. We welcome students *at any stage* of their PhD. First-year PhD students are strongly encouraged to apply, and may present research plans or work in progress.
Attendance at the colloquium is *free* for accepted presenters. We would also encourage more established RSAI-BIS members to attend the sessions, and contribute with comments and suggestions. From past experience, we have found this to be a very helpful and fulfilling experience for both presenters and attendees.
A panel of judges will award prizes for the best paper and the best presentation. Prize winners will receive a certificate, and will be entitled to attend our 2023 annual RSAI-BIS conference (in Newscastle, 4-6 July 2023), for free. The prize covers fees, accommodation, and economy-class travel. Shortlisted candidates will also receive a certificate, and their first drink at the 2023 annual conference will be on us.
To apply, please submit a short abstract by the 17th October 2022, using this link: https://www.rsai-bis.org/early-career-22-colloquium.html. The Colloquium is aimed at early career researchers working in the fields of regional and urban economics, environmental policy, economic geography, political geography, planning, and all related fields.
Presenters who wish to be considered for the best paper prize will be expected to submit a full paper by the 28th October 2022.
We hope to see you all there!
Organising committee (Daragh O'Leary, Richard Rijnks, Matt Lyons, Maria Abreu) and RSAI-BIS Committee.
