The Political Science Department and the Programs of Public Affairs at the University of Utah invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Public Administration starting July 1, 2023. We welcome applications from candidates seeking an Assistant Professor position. The successful candidate will have a PhD in public administration, nonprofit/philanthropy, political science, or a JD focused on public law. The candidate should exhibit a robust research and teaching record (and agenda) in the areas of public sector or non-profit sector leadership, and/or administrative law. We are particularly interested in candidates that can help further diversify the lived experiences of our faculty, those adept at applying a critical lens to their teaching and research, and/or those whose work focuses on social justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity. Experiences publishing, teaching, and working outside academia in public or non-profit service are valued. The position carries a teaching responsibility of 4 courses per year in the Master of Public Administration (MPA), Master of Public Policy (MPP), and/or Masters of International Affairs and Global Enterprise (MIAGE) programs, as well as service to Programs of Public Affairs graduate students and Political Science undergraduate and graduate students.

 

The subfield of Public Administration is inherently interdisciplinary and has a strong link to the world of practice. We embrace diversity of thought, methodological training, multi-method approaches, and collegiality in our continuous efforts to improve the quality of our research, teaching, and practice relevance. Our MPA program is NASPAA accredited and has a 50-year record of accomplishment training public and non-profit leaders in the Intermountain West. We offer an evening full/part-time program for early service students and a weekend-based Executive MPA program for mid- to senior service students. Courses are offered as in-person, hybrid, and online modalities three semesters per year.

 

The Programs of Public Affairs are leading efforts within the College of Social and Behavioral Science to increase and support diversity of all kinds, though its JEDI initiative and by mentoring, resourcing and advocating for faculty, staff, and students who identify as diverse. Diverse faculty are key to securing equity and quality in our students’ educational experiences, and for building trusting partnerships with our community stakeholders. Experiences of equity and diversity create a sense of belonging that makes the University of Utah campus a community where people can thrive.

 

For best consideration applications should be submitted by September 15, 2022, but applications received after this date will be reviewed until the position is filled. Applications should be filed using the online system at https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/137588

 

Applications should include: a cover letter detailing research and teaching interests and experience along with a statement on diversity describing how the candidate’s work and experiences can contribute to the success of underrepresented and minoritized students, a CV, a writing sample, and three references who can be contacted for letters of recommendation.

 

For any questions please contact Professor Lina Svedin, Search Committee chair at: lina.svedin@utah.edu.
