Jobs Academic Jobs in Minnesota check back here soonASA Resources The American Sociological Association website contains general information on careers in the discipline of sociology as well as specific positions currently open in the field. The "Careers in Sociology" section discusses what can be done with the BA, MA, or PhD degrees in sociology, offers information about sociological specialties, and discusses typical sociological careers for graduates. The employment bulletin lists current jobs in both academic settings and in sociological practice. In most cases, degrees and experience are required, but this resource provides one angle of vision on the job market for sociologists with advanced training. SAS Resources The Society for Applied Sociology provides a variety of information on pursuing careers in the applied sector. Check out their "Career Guide" which includes "35 Things You Should Think About if You're Considering a Career in Sociology" and "A Checklist for Jobhunting." MSS Resources The Midwest Sociological Society website provides a regionally specific version of much of the same information. If you're looking to establish some social networks in sociology beyond the state of Minnesota, this is the place to be. Jobs in Applied Sociology Few jobs are advertised under the heading: "Sociologist Wanted." However, a broad background in sociology, as well as training in particular sociological specialties, can qualify people for a wide range of applied positions. The following websites provide specific examples and openings in applied sociology. In some cases, you may have to do a little surfing or provide keywords, but this provides another window into the potential market for sociologically-trained job-seekers.
