This study examines emerging academic employment trends in criminology and criminal justice. Specifically, longitudinal content analysis was conducted on job listings published throughout the 1995–99 academic years. The primary purpose was to identify specialized areas of expertise most commonly desired or required by employing academic institutions and to explore trends by geographic region, timing of advertisement, department or program area, type of employer, and type of position available. Findings benefit doctoral students and current faculty members seeking appointment to other academic institutions by alerting them to developing market demands. The academic community and its institutions benefit from sensitization to the prevailing contemporary paradigm affecting the field of criminology and criminal justice, the level of demand for various specializations, and the importance of timing advertisements at national and regional levels
