Full job description
Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs seeks outstanding candidates for a full-time Assistant Teaching Professor position.
This is a renewable, fixed-term, non-tenure-track position. Assistant teaching professors serve under three-year renewable contracts. The typical teaching load is three courses a semester for two semesters a year.
The career track for teaching professors includes the possibility for promotion to Associate Teaching Professor and Teaching Professor, and longer renewable contracts.
Candidates are eligible for promotion after 5 years in rank. Evaluation for contract renewal and promotion is based on teaching excellence.
Teaching professors do not have expectations for research comparable to tenured or tenure-track faculty, but are expected to maintain currency in their field of expertise and will be provided support for applied research and/or other professional activities.
The person hired will become a member of the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs faculty.
The primary duties of the position will be to teach courses for the interdisciplinary undergraduate major in Policy Studies.
Policy Studies is a liberal arts major that focuses on developing skills that are valuable in a wide range of careers and prepares students to become responsible citizens in policy development and implementation across sectors including national, state, and local governments as well as community-based and business organizations.
The curriculum places emphasis on experiential learning and the development of skills that directly enhance students’ career competitiveness and success.
The candidate may have teaching assignments in other programs offered by the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs as well, including world-renowned graduate programs in Public Administration and International Relations.
Demonstrated excellence in undergraduate teaching and a commitment to experiential and applied learning is essential for this position.
Candidates should have expertise in public administration, policy analysis, policy implementation, government institutions, non-profit and community-based organizations, or related areas. Professional experience related to these topics is a plus.
This position is part of a bargaining unit and is represented by a union, SEIU Local 200 United.
