Professor or Associate Professor Interested in Inequality

Northwestern University invites applications from scholars specializing in innovative research on inequality for a tenured position jointly held between the Institute for Policy Research (IPR) and one of the following departments: Sociology, Economics, Political Science, or Psychology. We seek scholars with research programs that integrate multiple perspectives to illuminate pathways relevant to inequalities in income, wealth, health or political participation. Candidates with expertise in demography will receive special consideration, but demographic specialization is not required. Applicants should have outstanding records of scholarly publication and externally-funded research, and be interested in applying their work to social policy issues. To promote policy-relevant research activities, the appointments carry a one-half reduction in teaching responsibilities.

Northwestern is located in an attractive and diverse lakefront community adjacent to Chicago.
