Description

The Program in Higher Education Leadership (PHEL) in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at The University of Texas at Austin is seeking a non-tenure-track assistant or associate professor of practice who will also serve as assistant coordinator of PHEL, beginning summer or fall 2021. PHEL is a vibrant, diverse, mutually supportive community of nationally recognized scholar-practitioners within a top-ranked department and college.

We seek a candidate with experience teaching and training higher education practitioners, administrators, and scholars and with some experience coordinating an academic program area.

The appointment would be 50% teaching and 50% administration. As PHEL assistant coordinator, the candidate will work with faculty and staff to coordinate admissions efforts (e.g., outreach, marketing, and recruitment), maintain student and alumni records, plan and coordinate student events and support services, respond to inquiries from various stakeholders, and manage the programmatic budget, among other duties. The position includes a 2-2 teaching load, plus the noted administrative duties, during the academic year. We prefer candidates who are able to teach in the summer as well. UT can offer up to an initial three-year contract for new non-tenure-track faculty, with the possibility of extension.
