The School of Education at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for a tenure-track position in the area of out-of-school/community-based learning. Successful candidates must possess a Ph.D. (or equivalent) by the summer of 2015 and have demonstrated excellence in research and teaching. Applications will be considered at the Assistant Professor and Associate Professor levels.
We are seeking outstanding candidates whose research examines out-of-school/community-based learning and development. Scholars in all areas of human development and learning relevant to experiences in out-of-school/community-based learning focused programs are encouraged to apply. Areas of learning include all domains (e.g., STEM, all other academic subject areas, and other skill-based areas such as music, sports, etc.). We are particularly interested in applicants studying under-studied populations, as well as applicants studying the role of community-based programs in helping reduce educational inequities.
The selected candidate is expected to contribute to our graduate and undergraduate programs, and particularly to our Ph.D. in Education program, which offers specializations in Learning, Cognition and Development; Educational Policy and Social Context; and Language, Literacy, and Technology. We are a dynamic and fast growing School of Education. A more complete description of the School of Education can be found at http://education.uci.edu/.
