RILE Visiting Scholar

The Graduate School of Education at Stanford University seeks applications for the Race, Inequality, Language in Education (RILE) Distinguished Visiting Professor program for the Winter and Spring quarters of the 2022-2023 academic year. The school will select one faculty member to be in residence at Stanford University to join the GSE’s RILE program and be part of a collaborative and engaging community of students, staff and faculty. 

The Visiting Professor will attend meetings with students, RILE faculty meetings, the RILE colloquia series, and hold 4-5 hours of office hours with students per week. Additionally, the Visiting Professor will offer a lecture open to the Stanford community. 

The ideal candidate is committed to linking scholarship and practice in topics related to RILE, interested in collaborating with students and faculty in related areas, and being on partial or full sabbatical or leave from his/her/their home institution. The Visiting Professor will use the time at Stanford to further the objectives of his/her/their research that are aligned with the RILE program, explore critical content and innovative methodologies, engage deeply with the community, and collaborate on work in a context that is both receptive and supportive.

The Visiting Professor will be in residence from January 1, 2023 through June 20, 2023 (observing Stanford’s breaks and holidays). The GSE will provide up to 50% of the faculty salary (depending on the amount of sabbatical offered by the home institution) and a research account of $3,000. The GSE has also identified a range of temporary housing options and will work with the finalist on a monthly housing allowance to support their needs. 

Interested applicants should submit the following by February 1, 2022 for review of the selection committee and the Dean: 

•       Current CV;
•       Two letters of reference (these can be included as pdf’s with the candidate’s application);
•       A 2-3 page description of the work intended for the period of the visit, including how and why close work with GSE students and faculty is a priority;
•       A list of any anticipated conflicts with the published terms and dates of the appointment. 

Completed applications will be due February 1, 2022; they can be sent to tturner2@stanford.edu. Applicants will be notified of the decisions by March 21, 2022.
