Tenure Track Position-Assistant Professor in Public Management and Policy
Tenure Track Position – Assistant Professor in Public Management and Policy
The Department of Public Management and Policy, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University, seeks a tenure track faculty member at the Assistant Professor level, with expertise and teaching and research interests in nonprofit management and public affairs, beginning fall 2010.
The Department of Public Management and Policy offers a NASPAA-accredited MPA degree, a new MPP degree, an undergraduate degree in public policy and, in partnership with Georgia Tech, a doctorate in public policy. The department focuses on four areas of excellence: management and finance of public and nonprofit organizations; nonprofit management and policy; economic development and urban policy; and program evaluation and policy analysis.
The successful applicant will be expected to bring and maintain an active scholarly research agenda, and should also have the ability to teach courses in some combination of nonprofit management and one of the other areas of excellence, as well as to advise students in these areas. Priority will be given to candidates who can bridge the nonprofit management area and one of these areas of excellence in the department. The position requires a doctorate in an appropriate field of study from an accredited university by August 2010. Candidate must be eligible to work in the USA.
The department is one of two academic departments in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, which U.S. News & World Report ranks 27th nationally among schools of public affairs and public policy. The school also houses the Department of Economics and several outstanding research centers in fiscal policy, nonprofit studies, health policy, experimental economics, and public performance and management. The school is located in new offices in downtown Atlanta at the heart of a vibrant public and nonprofit sector. That location in combination with the school’s research centers generates excellent opportunities for faculty involvement in scholarly research that also contributes to policy-making and management at all levels of government and the nonprofit sector.
Candidates should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, and representative teaching evaluations to: Dr. Dennis Young, Chair, Faculty Search Committee, Department of Public Management and Policy, P.O. Box 3992, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA 30302-3992. Review of applications will begin December 1, 2009, and will continue until the position is filled. Information about the Andrew Young School is available at www.aysps.gsu.edu. Georgia State University, a unit of the University System of Georgia, is an equal opportunity educational institution and an equal opportunity affirmative action employer. The position is subject to budgetary approval.
