Hi Karen,

I hope you're enjoying a good start to the semester! The job ad below came through my email and I thought it might be of interest to folks on the HASTS job mailing list.

Thanks, and hope to see you soon!

The Sociology Department<https://sociology.ucsc.edu/> at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an Assistant Teaching Professor position.  We seek candidates whose expertise includes practical experience and research at the intersection of technology and social change, particularly the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to help address critical social and environmental problems.   Examples of experience and expertise could include: the use of ICTs in international development work (ICT4D); appropriate technology; non-profit technology use and management; links between technology and activism; interactive data visualizations; participatory mapping, photo-voice, and other participatory research and community development processes.  Experience in project management, monitoring and evaluation, and social entrepreneurship is also desirable.

The successful candidate will be expected to primarily teach at the undergraduate level and mentor students in applied project development.  The position will involve working directly in the Everett Program (www.everettprogram.org<http://www.everettprogram.org/>), an innovative program housed in the sociology department but open to students across campus, that empowers students to take direct action on issues of social justice and environmental sustainability in partnership with community-based organizations in both the U.S. and around the globe, using digital tools to help support their work.  The successful candidate must be committed to the equity and inclusion goals of the Everett Program, be an excellent teacher, and able to work with students, faculty, staff and community partners from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their teaching, professional activity, and service

The Assistant Teaching Professor title confers the rights and responsibilities of membership in the Academic Senate and has the payroll title Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment (LPSOE). An LPSOE is eligible for promotion to "Security of Employment," which is analogous to tenure.
