Faculty Position International Educational Policy

Associate or Full Professor with Tenure in International Educational Policy and Leadership

 

The Department of Leadership, Policy and Organizations invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the associate professor or professor rank in international program evaluation and policy analysis. We seek applications from scholars whose research focuses broadly in the area of education policy impact and implementation with particular emphasis on the evaluation of policy initiatives and interventions in international contexts.  Candidates with backgrounds in program evaluation, sociology, economics and political science focusing on educational policy in such areas as accountability, teacher policy, and access and equity, especially in international contexts, are encouraged to apply. We seek scholars conducting rigorous research and evaluation of impacts of global and domestic education policy.  Scholarship may focus on the evaluation of policy initiatives or programs in a single country, multiple countries, a region, or comparative research.  The search is not focused on research in any particular region or country but must have a major international component and include opportunities for synergies with other faculty in the Department, Peabody College or Vanderbilt University.

We seek a scholar with excellent publication and funded research accomplishments appropriate for appointment as an associate professor or professor with tenure at a top research institution.  In addition, we expect the successful candidate will have experience with undergraduate and graduate teaching and a history of working collaboratively with colleagues and students. The successful candidate should also have a record of obtaining external grants with such agencies as NGOs and/or multi-national organizations, such as USAID, OECD, The World Bank, UN organizations, and other major funding agencies in international education policy.

The Department is committed to hiring a colleague who can contribute academic leadership to and teach in the master’s degree in International Education and Policy Evaluation (IEPM) and offer courses in the undergraduate track in International Leadership Development. Additional teaching and mentoring opportunities are in our Ed.D program for practicing professionals, and our PhD program in Leadership and Policy Studies, in both K-12 and Higher Education. For our Ph.D. program we seek someone with an exemplary record of developing future faculty members within his/her research projects.   Inquires may be directed to Professor Gary T. Henry, Patricia and Rodes Hart Chair, Professor of Public Policy and Education, at gary.henry@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.
