Lowell, MA
The University of Massachusetts Lowell is seeking a scholar of public administration to fill a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. The position will be based in the Department of Political Science, and will be integral to the development of the University's new Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree program.
The successful candidate will have a well-developed research agenda in the area of public administration and/or public policy, a record of peer-reviewed publications, and a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship. He/she will also demonstrate a strong commitment to public service education, an ability to work with a diverse student body, and capacity to teach courses in at least two of following areas: public administration, public budgeting and finance, public and non-profit management and leadership, and public policy analysis.
The MPA program is an interdisciplinary initiative of the University's College of Fine Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (FAHSS). The College has experienced transformative growth over the past four years, including the hiring of over 50 new faculty members, a 70% growth in funded research expenditures, and the addition of several new interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs. Beyond its core curriculum, the MPA program will offer specialized options in justice administration, public humanities and the arts, and human services. The program will begin admitting students and offering courses for Fall 2016, and will be fully operational for the 2017-2018 academic year.
The Department of Political Science features a growing and diverse body of faculty with research and teaching interests that cut across different geographical, methodological and thematic areas. The department has experienced significant enrollment growth in its undergraduate major (which includes specializations in American Politics, Political Communication, International Politics, and Law & Politics), and has played an integral role in the College's interdisciplinary graduate programs, including its PhD in Global Studies, Masters degree program in Peace and Conflict Studies, and the new MPA. Department faculty are engaged in leadership roles for a range of campus-wide research and experiential learning initiatives, including the Model UN Program, Emerging Scholar Program, the UMass Lowell Center for Public Opinion, Climate Change Initiative, and International Study Abroad Programs.
University of Massachusetts Lowell offers highly competitive compensation and benefits, including salary, start-up funding, and relocation expenses. Although the preference is to fill the position in time for the Fall 2016 semester, the start date is negotiable.
Minimum Qualifications:
Professional experience working within the public and/or non-profit sector
