The Program: Educational Leadership and Policy Studies is a program within the Division of Administrative & Organizational Studies in the College of Education.

Unique Duties Qualifications Scholarly Productivity: We seek a seasoned scholar who has published extensively in educational administration and/or policy academic journals and has a clear, compelling research agenda that has attracted some notoriety in the field (e.g., publication in influential journals and/or media outlets, state- or national-level speaking engagements, community-based programming with notable individual/group impact, etc.). Doctoral Advising: Applicants must have an interest in and capacity to begin advising doctoral students in the first year of appointment. Embody Program Values: Important review criteria include evidence of a commitment to working with individuals from diverse backgrounds; commitment to excellence in teaching and advising; and eagerness to embody the program theme: To prepare educational leaders who are reflective, innovative professionals who will affirm and demonstrate their commitment to equitable and just education. Applicants must have an earned doctorate in educational leadership, educational policy, or a related field.
