The School for Workers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking to fill a tenure-track Assistant Professor position with a focus on work, employment, and the empowerment of working people. The School for Workers is a multidisciplinary department that embraces a wide variety of social science fields and subjects, including labor studies, the sociology of work and employment, working-class studies, history, globalization and its impacts on workers, work organization, unionization, workplace and community inequality, labor precarity, job quality, and the future of work. The department is in UW-Madison's Division of Continuing Studies. We seek a faculty member who will combine rigorous research with a deep interest in outreach that engages people, communities, and institutions, and that results in real-world impact. The ideal candidate will produce relevant research that can be meaningfully applied to the benefit of working people and their communities in Extension-style community-based education and outreach programs.
