  1. The Dickinson College Department of Educational Studies (EDST) seeks candidates for a full-time tenure track assistant professor position to begin fall 2021.  We seek dedicated teacher-scholars committed to maintaining a rigorous research agenda, implementing innovative pedagogy, and fostering an intellectually vibrant, inclusive learning environment.  Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a field related to education (e.g., educational psychology, early childhood education, foundations of education, comparative education, curriculum & instruction).  Area of research specialization is open, but expertise in quantitative, mixed-methods and/or historical design is preferred.  In addition, U.S. K-12 teaching experience is preferred.  The successful candidate will teach introductory through upper-level core EDST courses in rotation with departmental colleagues. 

The educational studies major enables students to study the discipline of education as it relates to other liberal arts disciplines. In particular, educational studies fosters within students a deep understanding of the complexity of education and schooling as well as an ability to think critically about the ways in which education intersects with a broad range of social, cultural, political and economic forces.
