The Purpose of the Role: 

The Department of Sociology in the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor in Sociology (Environmental Sociology), commencing on 1 August 2026. 

The successful candidate will contribute to the Department’s core missions of teaching, research, and academic service. They will have a strong and demonstrable record of research and teaching in sociology and will play an active role in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including interdisciplinary teaching, supervision, and mentoring.

The successful candidate will be expected to pursue an ambitious research agenda, engage in wider public and policy debates, and foster collaboration within the College and with external research bodies.

Context: 

Environmental Sociology examines and advances the sociological imagination in relation to a wide variety of environmental challenges, controversies and issues, at all levels, from global to local. Topics covered include climate change; biodiversity loss; radiation; genetically modified crops; environmental social movements; mobility, migration and transport; race, ethnicity and the environment; and toxic waste.

 We invite applications from candidates with a strong record in empirical research and teaching in environmental sociology, particularly those engaging with contemporary, interdisciplinary and emerging topics. Areas of interest may include, but are not limited to, the intersection of climate change and migration as well as the interface between climate change, religion and conflict. We particularly welcome scholars who bring a comparative, interdisciplinary and/or transnational perspective. 

We expect candidates to demonstrate cutting-edge methodological expertise in their research portfolio, showing both rigour and innovation in their approaches.

Research on gender and sexuality in sociology explores how gendered and sexual identities, relationships, and hierarchies are socially constructed across institutions such as labour markets, the state, education, family, culture, law, and medicine. It examines how gender and sexual norms operate through power and inequality, and how these intersect with class, race, ethnicity, migration, and other axes of stratification. 

We welcome applications from candidates with strong records of empirical research and teaching in gender and sexuality, particularly those addressing contemporary or emerging issues. Areas of interest include gendered institutions and policy, embodiment and identity, sexuality and citizenship, intersectional inequalities, cultural and digital representations, social movements, and transformations in gender regimes.
