Primary duties will include teaching graduate Public Administration courses and Political Science courses, if needed.

This position requires face-to-face interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and in the workplace.

The successful candidate must hold a doctorate in Public Administration or a closely related field from an accredited institution. We strongly encourage candidates with a specialization in emergency management. We desire candidates who have (a) strong research skills, (b) a proven record of publication in peer-reviewed journals, (c) experience working with various student populations, and (e) the ability to teach MPA core courses and areas that complement or enhance our graduate and undergraduate programs.
We offer competitive salaries and a benefits package including health insurance, retirement benefits, and life insurance. Additional pay is available for summer teaching. Financial support for professional development opportunities, such as attending academic conferences, is also provided. Moving expenses are covered in whole or in part by the university.
