The Arizona State University School of Public Affairs invites nominations and applications for two tenure-track faculty positions. Hiring will focus on active, entrepreneurial emerging scholars with a desire to work collaboratively across disciplinary lines as they establish themselves as leaders in core fields of public administration and policy research.
The ASU School of Public Affairs (SPA) is embarking upon a period of growth as a strategically important element in Arizona State University’s emergence as a “New American University.” The School enjoys a national reputation; its programs in public administration and urban policy and management were recently ranked in the top ten nationally. SPA is unique for its embrace of both public administration and public policy in both teaching and research.
The ASU School of Public Affairs offers a Master of Public Policy, Master of Public Administration, and Doctorate in Public Administration as well as Bachelor’s degree programs in Urban and Metropolitan Studies and Public Service and Public Policy (PSPP). The PSPP is a new degree introduced last year that will serve as the basis of an expanded undergraduate program. In the years ahead, SPA will draw more students attracted to the unique opportunity of an interdisciplinary public affairs education, with focused training in the core and the ability to chart a path of their choosing.
Applicants should have a PhD at the time of appointment and must demonstrate strong research and teaching interests in core areas of public policy or public administration research, including a demonstrable record or promise of high quality research in leading publications and excellent teaching. Faculty members are expected to actively pursue outside funding to support research; evidence of ability to do this should be highlighted.
Degree may be in public policy, public administration, economics, political science or other related field. Public finance, public economics, human resources management and policy analysis have been identified as sub-disciplines of particular interest. Scholars with interests in emerging areas such as market-based approaches to governance and international public administration will be strong candidates as well.
The School of Public Affairs is making a concerted effort to deepen ties to the many ASU units that possess great depth in public policy analysis. Areas of collaboration include sustainability, technology, business, engineering, social policy, planning and law. Interest in these and other subjects offering overlap with ASU schools is a plus. Joint appointments are a possibility for qualified candidates.
Review of applications will begin October 8, 2010 and continue until positions are filled. Materials should be submitted by October 30, 2010 to ensure consideration. Please submit electronically a letter of application, current vita, statement of research and teaching interests, writing sample, and names and contact information of three professional references to:
