We are seeking a motivated, collaborative colleague, eager to engage with others on scholarship and grants, and whose research directly engages questions of practice that seek to understand the many ways in which racially minoritized people experience schooling. We are especially interested in scholar-activists who use a critical lens to transform existing practice and scholarship and engage with minoritized youth and communities.
We seek a scholar whose research and teaching interests interrogate the following (or related) areas:
Transforming systems and structures within schools and society to ensure the health and well-being of minoritized youth and their families.
Examining resistance and resilience in the success and engagement of minoritized youth.
Exploring the role of school counselors as change agents, advocates, and allies for students and families.
Applicants should have a record of scholarly publications consistent with rank at a research-intensive university. Primary teaching affiliation will be in the school counseling program. This tenure-track line requires teaching two courses per semester, engaging in student advisement and supervision, conducting a systematic program of research, and university and professional service. We are dedicated to ensuring a diverse and inclusive faculty environment and especially welcome applicants from minoritized groups.
Appointments are for a ten-month academic year beginning in the Fall 2024. For full consideration, please submit your materials by October 1, 2023. The position will remain open until filled.
