FACULTY POSITIONS IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH WITH A FOCUS ON EDUCATIONAL EQUITY
The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications
from scholars who do quantitative research with a focus on educational
equity, for one or more faculty positions at the rank of Assistant
Professor of Education, Associate Professor of Education (untenured),
or Professor of Education.
We seek candidates who have strong training in a social science
discipline and conduct rigorous quantitative research on patterns of
educational equity and the policies, programs, or practices designed
to promote educational equity, from pre-K to postsecondary education.
Scholars who study the role of education in promoting social mobility
and improving outcomes are also welcome. We are particularly
interested in appointing new colleagues whose research is concerned
with improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations
either in the U.S. or in international contexts. Strong applicants
will be distinguished by the quality of their research, their use of
cutting-edge quantitative methods, and the application of compelling
research designs and methods for making causal inferences on questions
related to educational equity. We also seek candidates who have the
potential to make a powerful substantive contribution to our
curriculum. We especially encourage applications from women and
minorities.
At HGSE, our mission is to conduct high-quality research on issues
related to education, and to teach, advise, and mentor a diverse
community of graduate students, both at the doctoral and master's and
levels, in order to contribute to building the next generation of
successful scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners in education. We
therefore seek candidates with excellent pedagogical skills, including
the ability to clearly communicate sophisticated research to
heterogeneous audiences. Additionally, candidates should be prepared
to engage in quantitative research with graduate students, many of
whom are interested in policy, programs, or practice.
Candidates should have a doctorate in a relevant field, such as
education, sociology, economics, political science, psychology, or
public policy. Successful candidates will have an excellent record of
rigorous scholarship and a commitment to teaching and mentoring.
Candidates completing their doctoral studies will be considered if
they will complete all requirements for the doctorate by the start of
the 2015-16 academic year.
The search committee will begin reviewing applications on November 1,
2014 and continue until the position is filled.
To apply, please go to http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/5613.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Academic
Affairs at equity_quant_search_at_gse.harvard.edu or 617-495-4201
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will
receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran
status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
