The Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership in the
College of Education invites applications for one or two open-ranked
tenure-track faculty positions.  Candidates should have completed an earned
doctorate in education or related field by the time of appointment. We are
especially interested in candidates who bring a critical and/or a
discipline-based perspective to the study of education problems and issues,
and who provide evidence of the potential for outstanding research and
teaching. *Priority will be given to experienced scholars with an
established research program, interests in program development/leadership,
and strong commitment to teaching courses in educator preparation programs.
We are searching, in particular, for candidates with cross-cutting
expertise in two or more of the following: social studies education, middle
school/adolescent literacy, minority and urban education, critical theory,
history and social foundations, and/or curriculum theory.** *



We welcome applicants who have strong disciplinary knowledge but can also
work creatively across disciplinary boundaries. In our newly restructured
department faculty work collaboratively across program specializations to
create an intellectual community committed to rigorous research, superior
teaching, and public service. In doing so, we aim to provide teachers,
education leaders, and scholars with interdisciplinary perspectives that
equip them to address central education issues, improve educational
institutions, create and critique policy alternatives, and generate
knowledge that informs action and promotes social justice. Guided by this
departmental vision, we are looking for strong candidates who will sustain
an active research program and seek external funding, provide leadership,
teach and advise, and engage in school and community service.



To apply for the position please go to

of two publications, a statement of teaching philosophy, a course syllabus

you have questions about the application process, please contact Dr. Betty
Malen (malen at umd.edu) or Dr. Jennifer Turner (jdturner at umd.edu), Co-chairs
of the Search Committee.
