The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, to begin on July 1, 2011. This is an opportunity for a young or mid-career scholar to participate in and lead new initiatives in research and teaching in the fields of educational leadership and change.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Successful candidates will have the following qualifications: a doctoral degree, a strong program of research and publication on educational leadership and educational change, and a successful record of teaching experience. Experience working with educators in the K-12 educational sector, and research in the fields of educational policy and/or social diversity would be advantageous. While the primary focus of this position will be on elementary and secondary education, knowledge and experience in research on post secondary institutions would also be useful.
