Rutgers University: NJ-STEP Instructor

Rutgers University's School of Criminal Justice is hiring for a two-year full time Non-Tenure Track Instructor to teach with NJ-STEP in New Jersey.

This position would focus on the Bachelors in Justice Studies major, with a primary emphasis on teaching within the four NJ State prisons that the NJ-STEP (Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons) program serves. Applicants should be social justice scholars with demonstrated success in teaching.

The successful candidate will deliver appropriate sections of in-person courses for major credit in the Justice Studies program as needed for course progressions each semester – primary examples include, “Pursuit of Justice”, “Inequality”, “Philosophy of Justice”, “Restorative Justice”, “History of Mass Incarceration”, “Punishment”, “Special Topics in Justice”, “Interdisciplinary Senior Thesis” and other advanced 300-400 level social justice coursework within their specialty.

The teaching load is the equivalent of 4 courses per semester. This is a academic year appointment with the possibility of additional teaching contracts during summer months. Depending on changes in course needs, the successful candidate may also support the implementation of archival work and execute the installation of archival material into our prison libraries.
