Dear Economics of Education program members,

UC Berkeley has a very interesting job posting for an assistant professor
in Education Policy Research at their Graduate School of Education. I have
pasted it below. Please do disseminate this to those who might be well
qualified for the post.

All good wishes, Caroline Hoxby

Assistant Professor**
>
> Education Policy Research
>
> The Graduate School of Education (GSE), University of California,
> Berkeley, seeks applicants at the Assistant Professor level for a
> tenure-track position as a social scientist specializing in economic
> aspects (broadly defined) of education policy, to begin in the 2014-2015
> academic year, anticipated start date of July 1, 2014. We anticipate that a
> successful applicant would most likely be an economist of education, but
> note that the School’s needs and interests could also conceivably be
> satisfied by a sociologist, political scientist, or public policy scholar.
> Applicants should be working on the cutting edge in economics of education
> or quantitative methods (including mixed methods), and should have a
> commitment to studying enduring issues in education, including, for
> example, inequality, political economy and school reform, accountability
> assessments, and teacher evaluation schemes. The successful candidate
> will have a primary affiliation with the Policy, Organization, Measurement
> and Evaluation area, whose faculty members draw upon a variety of academic
> disciplines and serve students with interests in education policy,
> educational equity, organizational practices, instructional organization,
> institutional behavior inside schools and school systems, along with evaluation
> and measurement, and quantitative methods. However, education policy is a
> matter of broader interest in the Graduate School of Education, and the
> successful candidate may expect to collaborate with faculty and students
> throughout the School and on the campus. The individual will teach and
> advise doctoral students specializing in educational policy research, and
> will also contribute as appropriate to the GSE’s highly-regarded
> undergraduate minor and/or its small, innovative programs of professional
> education.
>
> Applicants should have an earned doctoral degree or equivalent in
> education, economics, or a related field of the social sciences, and the
> potential for significant research accomplishment and distinguished
> teaching. The doctoral degree must be completed by date of hire. Applications
> must include a curriculum vitae; a detailed letter or statement of
> interests and qualifications; up to three samples of academic writing; and
> the names and contact information of three references, by December 2, 2013.
> All letters will be treated as confidential per University of California
> policy and California state law. Please arrange for letters of
> recommendation to be uploaded directly by recommenders. Please refer
> potential referees, including when letters are provided via a third party
> (i.e., dossier service or career center), to the UC Berkeley statement of
> confidentiality: http<http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank>
