*Posting # 15013*
*Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management*
*Starting Date: September 15, 2015*
The Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management (PPPM) at the University of Oregon invites applications for a tenure-track position at the assistant, associate, or full professor rank. Strong candidates with research and teaching interests in any policy or management area will be considered, as long as the candidate is willing and able to teach some of the courses noted below. We seek candidates with demonstrated scholarly potential and strong teaching skills. Program leadership opportunities may be available for experienced candidates.
Research that informs a broad audience of academicians, policy makers, and practitioners is of particular interest to us. While the subsector focus of the individual field is open and you will find our department a supportive place for furthering your specific focus in research, we seek candidates who are able to consider broad applications of evidence-based policy making and management in the classroom. We offer competitive salaries and a supportive interdisciplinary environment. Opportunities for research and programmatic collaboration exist with colleagues in related departments and schools (e.g. Economics, Geography, Political Science, Education, Law, Business), research centers and programs.
The successful candidate will be able to teach in our graduate programs (the Master of Public Administration and Master of Nonprofit Management), as well as elective courses in your area of interest. You’ll note that our program emphasizes the importance of evidence-based decision making with rigorous coursework and practical field-based applications. In addition to teaching in your area of interest, the preferred candidate will be able to teach two or more of the following courses: public management, nonprofit management, financial management, public budgeting, philanthropy (grant making), capstone applied research project, project management, fund raising, board governance, program evaluation, and strategic planning.
Minimum qualifications are a Ph.D. in public policy, public administration, business, economics, political science, or a closely related field. Candidates must have strong quantitative and/or qualitative research skills. We actively encourage applications from minority candidates, and we strongly desire candidates who promote diversity and strive to make our university an inclusive place for learning. The University of Oregon is located in Eugene <http://www.eugenecascadescoas
TO APPLY: Submit the following by email: 1) cover letter describing research and teaching interests, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) evidence of teaching excellence, such as course evaluations, 4) contact information for three references, and 5) a scholarly writing sample. Review of applications will commence *February 15, 2015*, but the search will remain open until the position is filled. We will contact references only for the finalist candidates (and will notify the candidate prior to doing so). Application materials should be emailed _in a single pdf_ to pppm@uoregon.edu
