Department:

The Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies (ELPS) in the College of Education at Florida State University invites applications for a nine-month, tenure-earning assistant or associate professor position.  We seek a colleague committed to research, mentorship, teaching, and advising with equity, inclusion, and social justice as guiding principles.  The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research and center their research agenda on career pathways, teach courses in our face-to-face master’s and PhD programs as well as our online EdD program, advise doctoral students, chair doctoral student dissertation committees, contribute to academic service, and apply for external funding to support their research projects. We are especially interested in candidates with a focus on career and technical education in K-12 or higher education, school-to-work transitions, applied degrees such as A.S. degrees at two-year colleges, and/or postsecondary-workforce alignment/outcomes.

ELPS strives to develop a deep understanding of, and respect for, equity and inclusion among students and colleagues. We recognize the importance of decolonizing our educational system and strive to build inclusive systems through the exploration of many truths and lived experiences, creating room for those who are often excluded. We approach equity, social justice, and cultural responsiveness as cross-cutting themes in departmental policy and practice, program curriculum, and faculty and student research. The Department enrolls a sizable and diverse population of students in MS, PhD, and online EdD degree programs.  Currently, almost half of our students are from racial/ethnic minoritized populations. We seek a colleague to teach across these programs, with a particular focus on advising a diverse group of PhD and EdD students.
