Nationally ranked among US News & World Report's Best Education Graduate Schools, Rutgers Graduate School of Education is part of New Jersey's flagship public university. Committed to Advancing Excellence and Equity in Education, the Graduate School of Education (GSE) at Rutgers University–New Brunswick seeks an outstanding scholar to join the school in its Department of Educational Psychology. We seek a tenure-track colleague at the rank of Assistant Professor whose research focuses on higher education and advancing diversity, access, and social justice in education and society. We are particularly interested in scholars with a research focus in at least one of our three thematic areas (i.e., Diversity, Equity, & Social Justice; STEM Education, Effective Teaching and Learning) with demonstrated ability to teach in and support the Ph.D. in Higher Education and Ed.M. in College Student Affairs Programs. 

 

The Ph.D. in Higher Education program at Rutgers University admitted its first class of students in September 2016. This interdisciplinary degree program brings together distinguished higher-education scholars representing a variety of disciplines and academic units across Rutgers. Core faculty members include higher education experts in the fields of, for example, education, psychology, law, communication, organizational studies, public policy, history, and economics.  Although the Ph.D. in Higher Education program is administratively located in the Graduate School of Education, faculty from other schools across Rutgers participate actively in teaching and advising students.  These schools include the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Communication and Information, the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, and the School of Management and Labor Relations.

The Ed.M. in College Student Affairs (CSA) program offers a challenging curriculum that combines hands-on learning with academic training from leading educators in the fields of higher education and student affairs. All students will hold a position in student affairs to have opportunities to connect their classroom learning with professional development. Since being established in 2009, our program has distinguished itself with its focus on social justice and inclusion. Our faculty bring their expertise on minoritized student populations and years of experience teaching diverse students to the CSA classroom.  As a result, graduates from the CSA program are well equipped to infuse inclusion and equity to their workplaces in higher education and beyond.

The scholar filling this position will conduct a research and publication agenda that advances Rutgers Graduate School of Education's pursuit of Advancing Excellence and Equity in Education; demonstrates scholarly productivity by publishing in peer-reviewed journals, securing external research support, and presenting at national and international higher education scholarly conferences; and contributes to the growth of both the Ph.D. in Higher Education and Ed.M. in College Student Affairs programs and related academic endeavors such as graduate certificate programs.  The incumbent will participate in program development and innovation and teach graduate courses in both the Higher Education and College Student Affairs programs. Additionally, the scholar filling this position will advise master's and doctoral students, participate actively in local, state, and national student affairs professional organizations, and contribute to the service missions of the Graduate School of Education and the university. We invite applications and nominations for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with a demonstrated commitment to critically addressing diversity and equity issues in education.  

Subject to the availability of funding, the position will begin September 2022.
