The four divisions most relevant to K-12 focus are Human Development and Psychology, Social Research Methodology, Social Sciences and Comparative Education, and Urban Schooling. As a member of one of these divisions, the successful candidate will teach doctoral courses and advise Ph.D. students in the areas most pertinent to teacher education, teacher policy, and/or the context of urban teaching.

QUALIFICATIONS: A doctorate in education or a related field. We strongly encourage applicants to apply whose doctorate or research specialization is in Teacher Education or a related field; experience with public schools (K-12); a record of research and scholarly publications commensurate with appointment level; ability to teach and advise students at the graduate level in both scholarly and teacher education programs; a strong commitment to teacher education, social justice, and educational equity for students in urban schools, and a willingness to generate extramural funding for research.
