With a standing as one of the best in the nation, our School continues to set benchmarks in criminal justice, policing science, and crime intelligence, fueled by a legacy that includes the first-ever police science curriculum launched by O.

Wichita State University seeks an exceptional senior scholar–practitioner to lead and expand its Forensic Sciences programs within the historic School of Criminal Justice, founded in 1934, making it the second-oldest program of its kind in the nation. Forensic Sciences includes two newly approved graduate programs, the M.S. in Forensic Biology and the M.S. in Forensic Firearms, and an established undergraduate program in Forensic Science. With a standing as one of the best in the nation, our School continues to set benchmarks in criminal justice, policing science, and crime intelligence, fueled by a legacy that includes the first-ever police science curriculum launched by O. W. Wilson. This 12-month appointment as Director of Forensic Sciences will be at the professor or associate professor rank with tenure, depending on credentials and experience. The Director administers the forensic programs and develops and maintains relationships with the WSU Midwest Criminal Justice Institute and external agencies to advance the academic and programmatic mission of the School of Criminal Justice and the specialized offerings of the forensic programs. The Director will lead efforts for WSU forensic sciences programs to become fully accredited by the Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC). Accordingly, we are especially interested in candidates with leadership experience, in addition to fulfilling teaching duties. Applicants should be capable of establishing and sustaining an active research program that engages undergraduate and graduate students in the forensic science programs. Along with the new graduate programs in Forensic Biology and Forensic Firearms, the School of Criminal Justice offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees in criminal justice, a fully online bachelor’s degree in homeland security, and a bachelor’s degree in forensic science. Wichita State University, located in the Air Capital of the World, is a leading urban research institution with a dynamic Innovation Campus, a 120-acre hub that has earned the prestigious 2023 Emerging Research Park Award.
