Forensic Science Clinical Assistant/Associate Professor

About the role

The School of Interdisciplinary Forensics (SIF) in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for one full-time, benefits-eligible, non-tenure-eligible faculty position in the forensic science program at the rank of Clinical Assistant or Associate Professor. Salary and rank are based on qualifications at hire. The anticipated start date is August 2027. Clinical Professors emphasize the integration of professional expertise, applied scholarship, teaching, and service. The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate forensic science courses, contribute to curriculum and program development, engage in applied scholarly and/or professional activities that advance forensic science and its practice, and participate in service to the School, College, University, community, and/or profession. The position does not carry a research expectation unless the faculty member wishes to engage in research or scholarly activity, which may be incorporated into workload in consultation with the School Director. This position involves in-person teaching at ASU’s West Valley campus in Glendale, Arizona, and may also include some online teaching. The area of specialization is open, with preference for candidates whose expertise expands underrepresented areas such as criminalistics (mathematics, physics, firearms/tool marks, trace evidence analysis), engineering and applied sciences as applied to forensics, scene investigation, fingerprint examination, fire science, questioned documents, and legal aspects of forensic science. The position was announced September 30, 2026.
