Assistant Professor - Criminal Justice

The Department of Government & Criminal Justice at Abilene Christian University invites applications for an assistant professor position in criminal justice. The Department and its pre-law and other public service programs at ACU have a long history of teaching, scholarship, and service spanning more than 40 years. The new hire will assist the Department in continuing this heritage in a Christ-centered environment. This tenure-track faculty position offers excellent opportunities to contribute to the growing criminal justice program at ACU. The successful applicant will ideally play a key role in enhancing our existing curriculum to prepare students for diverse careers in law enforcement, including developing interdisciplinary tracks that leverage ACU’s existing strengths (e.g., Forensics, Cyber Security, and Homeland Security).
