UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA – ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION – The Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Florida invites applications for a tenure-track position in public administration at the rank of assistant professor to begin in August, 2010. A doctorate in political science, public administration or related discipline is required. The successful candidate will be a core faculty member in the department’s NASPAA-accredited Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree program, with some collateral responsibilities in the department’s undergraduate political science program. The department will consider all fields in public administration, but we are especially interested in a candidate who, along with general public administration, has demonstrated competencies in one or more of the following areas: Human resource management, research methods, budgeting and not-for-profit management and leadership. Preparation for undergraduate teaching in American politics or public policy is desirable, but the department will seek to provide opportunities for candidates to teach in their preferred areas of specialization. The department is particularly interested in candidates who have an interest in grant writing or applied research, and who otherwise demonstrate potential for research productivity. The normal teaching load is three courses per semester. UNF enrolls about 17,000 students and is located in Jacksonville, Florida, a rapidly growing metropolitan area with a population of over one million persons. Jacksonville is part of northeastern Florida’s historic “First Coast” and there are significant historical, cultural, and recreational resources in the immediate area including access to the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean.
