The Growth and Structure of Cities Department at Bryn Mawr College invites applications for a
full-time, tenure-track advanced Assistant Professor or Associate Professor to begin August 1,

faculty in this interdisciplinary context. Demonstrated experience with and/or commitment to
community development and public scholarship, especially related to the Philadelphia region is a
plus. In addition to teaching experience, the candidate must have demonstrated leadership skills
and curriculum development experience. A completed Ph.D. in a social science field is required
by the start date.
To apply for this position, candidates must submit (1) a cover letter, (2) curriculum vitae, (3)
research statement, (4) teaching statement, (5) sample course proposal or syllabus, and (6)
