Description: The Department of Criminal Justice in the College of Community Innovation and Education (CCIE) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) invites applications for two (2) full-time, 9-month, tenure- earning assistant professor positions to begin Fall 2025. Both positions are located on the main campus.
