The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications for faculty positions in Policy Analysis/Program Evaluation, at the rank of Assistant, Associate (untenured), or Full Professor.
We seek accomplished candidates who have strong training in a social science discipline and conduct rigorous quantitative research on educational policies, programs, or practice. We are casting our net broadly, seeking colleagues whose substantive interests focus on education either in the U.S. or in international contexts. We are particularly interested in appointing new colleagues whose research is concerned with improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations. In addition to potential for making a powerful substantive contribution to our curriculum, strong applicants will be distinguished by the quality of their research, their use of cutting-edge statistical methods, and the application of compelling research designs and methods for making causal inferences on questions related to educational policy, programs, or practice. We especially encourage applications from women and minorities.
At HGSE, our mission is to conduct high-quality research on issues related to education, and to teach, advise, and mentor a diverse community of graduate students, both at the master’s and doctoral levels, in order to contribute to building the next generation of successful scholars, policy-makers and practitioners in education. Candidates should be prepared to engage in quantitative research with graduate students whose primary interests are in policy, programs, or practice.
The search committee will begin reviewing applications on November 15, 2010, and will continue until the positions are filled. Applicants should send: (1) a copy of their curriculum vitae (including home address and preferred e-mail address), (2) a cover letter describing their research interests, (3) three examples of their scholarship. Applicants for assistant professor or associate professor should include four letters of recommendation. Candidates who proceed to a short list may be asked to submit additional reference letters or materials, including teaching evaluations.
All applicants are encouraged to submit materials electronically as PDF files. Please contact policysearch@gse.harvard.edu to request instructions for submitting materials electronically. Do not send application materials to this email account. Applications in hard copy may also be sent to:
