Assistant or Associate Professor (with Tenure) in Education Policy and Leadership

The Department of Leadership, Policy and Organizations invites applications for a faculty position at the assistant or associate (tenured) level with a research agenda focused on an organizational and institutional understanding of access, equity and stratification in education.  We seek applications from scholars with interdisciplinary perspectives (including sociology, political science, or economics) whose research includes an understanding of the factors that influence the PreK-16 trajectory (e.g., social organization and context of schooling; college access/persistence) in education.  Junior candidates should have a focused program of research that will contribute to our understanding of inequality and stratification in education and have the strong potential for external funding. More senior candidates should have an established program of research, a strong record of publications, and a record in securing external funding.  In addition to a vibrant research program, we expect excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels and a strong commitment to mentoring students, and working collaboratively with other faculty, students and staff.

For inquiries about the position, contact Stella M. Flores, Associate Professor and Search Committee Chair, at stella.m.flores@vanderbilt.edu. Applicants should send a letter of interest, CV, names and contact information for three references.  Review of applications will begin November 1, 2014, and will continue until the position is filled.
