Justice position to begin Fall 2018. Applicants must demonstrate or have the potential to produce

scholarly research and effective teaching. A Ph.D. in criminology/criminal justice or a related

have an appreciation of and commitment to the value of diversity and developing a diverse

Located near many cultural and recreational resources in suburban Detroit, Oakland University

(http://www.oakland.edu) is a state university enrolling approximately 20,000 students. Given

metro Detroit’s myriad transportation avenues (including highways, railways, and waterways)

and its proximity to national and international borders, and the presence of many federal agency

field offices in Detroit, Oakland University is an ideal location for addressing issues of

corrections, homeland security, and terrorism.

Applications will be accepted at http://jobs.oakland.edu/postings/12374 and should include: a

cover letter, curriculum vitae, unofficial transcript, publications or examples of scholarly writing,

evidence of teaching effectiveness or potential, and three letters of recommendation to be

submitted directly by the letter-writers. The cover letter, or a separate document, must include a

statement on the candidate’s commitment to diversity. Specifically, candidates should describe

their efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their previous positions and how they

plan to continue in this role at Oakland. An application is considered complete when all required

information is received. Please direct questions to Dr. Terressa Benz, Chair of the Search

Committee, at tbenz@oakland.edu. Review of applications begins January 1, 2018 and will

continue until the position is filled.
