TENURE-TRACK FACULTY OPENING

The Richard & Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track appointment to the faculty at the Assistant Professor rank to begin July 1, 2011.

The Goldman School seeks applications from those who study the major political and economic institutions and processes of countries and/or their macro-political economy. Illustrative areas of specialization include (but are not limited to) political economy, public economics, public finance, taxing and spending policies, federalism, the impact of governmental structures and institutions on public policy, the modern welfare state, trade and international finance and development, resource and environmental policies, the non-profit and voluntary sectors, comparative public policy, governance and corruption, regional and urban governments and institutions, transnational and regional organizations, and financial institutions.

Thus, the Goldman School encourages applications from political scientists, political economists, public finance economists, international economists, macro-economists, political and economic sociologists, social psychologists, public policy scholars, legal scholars, and other related disciplines.

The Goldman School is interested in candidates who have demonstrated commitment to excellence by providing leadership in teaching, research or service towards building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment, and in those candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through that same teaching, research, and service.

Preference will be given to scholars who have demonstrated the potential to make significant research contributions and who have a clear interest in teaching. The School particularly seeks applications from those with interests in teaching policy analysis in the core Masters in Public Policy professional program. The School expects to appoint an individual broadly conversant with the social and behavioral sciences and who will engage with an intellectually diverse faculty.
