Faculty Opening with the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota
The Humphrey School seeks applicants for a position at the Assistant Professor level who focus on public and/or nonprofit institutions, organizations, or networks. Candidates are especially encouraged to apply who explore the blurring of sectoral boundaries, with special attention to governments’ and nonprofits’ roles, relationships between institutions and citizens, or innovation in public and nonprofit agencies. Successful applicants will teach in the School’s core curriculum, engage in our master’s and doctoral degree programs, and function collaboratively in a public affairs school committed to generating both rigorous and relevant scholarship. An interdisciplinary social science background that includes institutional, political, and cross-cultural knowledge and competence is highly valued. Recent PhD recipients, candidates who will have received their PhD by the time of appointment, and current pre-tenure assistant professors (early or advanced) are invited to apply.
A PhD is required in public affairs, public policy, management, political science, sociology, psychology, or other relevant social science discipline. Candidates with knowledge of nonprofit management, financial management, strategic management, intergovernmental relations, integrative leadership, and collaborative governance are particularly encouraged to apply. People with professional experiences working with communities, managers, and policy makers will be a particularly good fit. We are interested in considering scholars who are focused either domestically or internationally. Additionally, we seek candidates whose approach to teaching and research is innovative and inclusive in terms of race, gender, class and ethnicity.
Applications will be reviewed beginning October 16, 2017. The position will remain open until filled.
