The Department of Justice, Law & Criminology in the School of Public Affairs at American University invites applications for two full-time, tenure-track positions in criminology for AY 2025-26. The positions will be at the rank of Assistant Professor. For the first position, they are seeking applicants with substantive expertise in race, ethnicity, and policing.

Applications from candidates who would enhance the diversity of the department are especially welcome.
