  • Responsibilities

    The Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development invites applications for a full-time Tenured Associate Professor or Professor of Educational Policy. We seek an individual with a national reputation for producing excellent scholarship that is influential both within the academic literature and the national dialogue. The specific area of research focus within educational policy is open; however, we seek candidates who employ rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental quantitative methods to measure the causal effect of educational policies and practices. Candidates should also have a history of successfully obtaining external funding.

     

    Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition dedicated to inclusion and social justice. We are proud that we were the first American university to award a Ph.D. to a woman and of our record of inclusiveness. BU Wheelock includes diversity as one of five strategic goals. We are dedicated to increasing the participation of all talented students and are committed to the pursuit of careers within education and human development by underrepresented groups at BU and beyond.

     

    The successful candidate will have the opportunity to provide leadership on the research and training agenda of the program. Educational Policy program faculty teach undergraduate and graduate-level courses, advise students, and provide service to the university and the profession.

     

    The position begins July 1, 2020. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Applications from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

     

    As stated above, Boston University believes that cultural and social diversity is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our research and academic programs. In your application materials, we welcome a description of how, as a scholar, teacher, or community member, you will engage and sustain the commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion articulated in BOSTON UNIVERSITY’S DIVERSITY STATEMENT.
