TT Asst. Prof, McGill (Intl Dev, Social Control)

I believe this is a different position than the McGill position posted before [which focused on gender]. Can anyone confirm McGill is seeking to fill two positions for net year?

This is a second position.

This is such a weird posting...neither of these posting areas are really standard sociological sub-fields. Is this post written with a particular hire in mind? Is there just some crotchety old prof up at McGill who thinks he/she is going to mold the discipline via this hiring committee? Whats going on up there in Montreal?

There is always the possibility that the posting is listed with a specific candidate in mind. But, the department also has faculty actively pursuing research in this area. It is also a position in Canada, so titles may differ slightly from the U.S. If the position remotely overlaps with your interests, I would say it does not hurt to apply. The worst that can happen is that they reject your application.
