Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Qualitative Research (Log #24-007)

 

The Department of Educational Policy Studies at Georgia State University invites applications for the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of Qualitative Research starting in August 2023. Candidates must have a doctorate in research methods (or another closely related field, such as educational policy or social/cultural foundations, with a graduate certificate or minor/concentration in qualitative research). Georgia State University is an urban, public R1 institution in Atlanta, the leading cultural and economic center of the Southeast.

 

The Department of Educational Policy Studies, located in the College of Education & Human Development, offers graduate degrees and certificates. The department has a strong reputation for excellent teaching, outstanding research and scholarly productivity, and a diverse student body. The department’s 24 tenured/tenure-track faculty and clinical faculty contribute to Georgia State being the No. 2 most innovative university in the country and tied for the No. 1 public university for best undergraduate teaching in the 2023 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges.

 

Faculty and students collaborate with the college’s Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence, Urban Child Study Center, Center for Evaluation and Research Services, and Georgia State’s Urban Studies Institute, among others. The department houses The Principals Center, a collaborative effort to provide cutting-edge professional development for school leaders. Faculty expertise spans research methodologies, critical approaches to educational theory and practice, technology in leadership, and socio-cultural investigations across a broad spectrum of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields of study.

 

Qualifications: The successful applicant will have an earned doctorate with an emphasis on qualitative research methods in education. If the doctoral degree is not in research methods, the ideal candidate will have a graduate certificate or a minor/concentration in research methods with a focus on qualitative inquiry. Preferred qualifications include teaching experience at a college or university and a record of publication. Candidates who have not yet earned their doctoral degree may be considered, but evidence of an impending successful degree conferral in Spring 2023 will be required.

 

We are especially interested in a candidate whose research might align with critical approaches to methodology and methods, such as intersectional research, critical race methodology, decolonizing methods and other theoretical perspectives that center race.

 

The applicant should be able to teach courses such as Introductory and Advanced Qualitative Methods in Education, Action Research, Case Study, Visual Research, Discourse Analysis and Ethics, among others. The position entails teaching graduate-level courses and mentoring College of Education & Human Development Ph.D., Ed.D. and master’s students. Presence on campus for face-to-face teaching and mentoring students is an essential function of the position. The modality, location and day/time of classes are at the department’s sole discretion.

 

Additionally, the successful applicant will be expected to:

  • Maintain an ongoing program of research and publication
  • Seek external research support when appropriate
  • Advise and mentor graduate students
  • Serve on graduate student thesis and dissertation committees
  • Work with diverse student populations
  • Provide service to the university and profession
  • Communicate effectively with educational partners

 

Applications: Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vita, teaching philosophy (one page), statement of research goals (one page), and transcript of highest degree earned in a single PDF file to Ms. Kimberly Jovett Moore at kmoore@gsu.edu. Please include "Qualitative Research Application" in the subject line. Candidates selected for interviews will be asked to submit three letters of recommendation from individuals within the field of interest.

 

Preference will be given to applications and supporting documents received by October 15, 2022, but the position will remain open until a suitable candidate is selected. The expected start date is August 2023. Please be advised that, should you be recommended for the position, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents policy requires the completion of a background check as a prior condition of employment.
