Job Opportunities

Due to extraordinary growth, the Department of Criminal Justice at  Fayetteville State University invites applications for three faculty positions, rank open, to begin in August 2008.   Fayetteville State University is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina and the second-oldest public institution of higher education in the state.   Founded in 1867 as the Howard School for the education of African Americans, today FSU serves a growing student body of approximately 6,000 and ranks among the nation's most diverse campus communities.   Fayetteville is located in the scenic Cape Fear River Valley of North Carolina, between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.  Residents of Fayetteville enjoy mild temperatures, four distinct seasons, a low cost of living, and easy access to beautiful Carolina beaches.

The Department of Criminal Justice offers a bachelor’s degree with approximately 400 majors and a Master of Science program that began in Fall 2006. Responsibilities of faculty include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, research, and service to the university and to the community.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. in criminal justice, criminology or a closely related field.  ABDs may apply, but we will consider only individuals who can reasonably expect to have their doctoral degree in hand by Fall 2008.   The J.D. alone is not an appropriate degree for this position.  Area of specialization is open.  Candidates with an interest in web-based instruction are strongly encouraged to apply. Salary and rank are negotiable and commensurate with qualifications and experience.

To apply, send a letter of application, current vita, official graduate and undergraduate transcripts, and three letters of reference to:
