Job Description
Northwestern University is seeking instructors for its Master of Arts in Public Policy and Administration (MPPA) program. The MPPA program explores public policy issues, applications, and analysis and the administrative systems necessary to implement policy. The program is designed to be of particular benefit to early and mid-career managers and executives working in local and state government agencies, though much of the curriculum is applicable to careers in federal government, foundations, and associations.
MPPA courses are offered in both an on-campus and an online format. On-campus classes meet once a week for 10 consecutive weeks in the evening in the Chicago area. Online courses can be conducted from anywhere in the United States. Please visit our website for more detailed information about our programs and courses: http://scs.northwestern.edu/grad/.
We have a particular interest in faculty who are able to teach the following:
MPPA 406: Analytic Methods for Public Policy Analysis
This course will expose students to a set of tools and principles that fall under the heading of "analytic methods." These methods help public policy and program analysts systematically value decisions, improve the decision-making process (and hopefully the resultant decisions), value inputs and outcomes, handle uncertainty, and compare aspects of public policy and systems that might not otherwise appear to be comparable. Topics include discounting techniques, cost-benefit analysis, decision theory, difference equations, and elements of microeconomic analysis.
We welcome the opportunity to speak with you more about the program. Please forward a resume and letter of inquiry, mentioning the specific courses you are most interested in teaching.
Job Requirements
We require all of our instructors to hold a minimum of a master's degree (PhD preferred). Instructors must have significant work experience in the areas in which they teach.
