About The Position
We invite applications for an Assistant Professor in the area of Teacher Education to serve as a tenure track faculty member of our Department of Education. This position is for an individual focused on the field of teacher education, broadly conceived, whose scholarly research is focused on the study of teacher education, teacher learning and development, and/or the social contexts of education and teaching. While the area of specialization within this field is open, we are interested in candidates whose work brings a critical lens to understanding and supporting teachers to disrupt and dismantle systemic inequalities in educational settings. Successful candidates will be able to teach a variety of foundation courses related to understanding the social, cultural, and psychological contexts of education that set the tone and background for our teacher preparation program. Candidates should be skilled at relating educational theories to the everyday practice of teaching. In addition to having a strong commitment to equity and justice, ideal candidates will have a demonstrated record of collaboration and innovation. Experience teaching in K-12 schools is strongly preferred, though candidates who bring a strong background in related areas will be considered. We especially seek candidates with experience working in racially, ethnically, linguistically, and economically diverse schools and communities, particularly through school-university partnerships. Although not required, candidates who have some expertise in working in schools with large emerging bilingual populations should address this interest in their cover letter.
