We welcome candidates from a range of methodological traditions.

The successful candidate will have a record of research and scholarly publications in higher education consistent with the appointment level, campus/departmental/university system leadership experience, and an exemplary record of teaching, service, and mentorship of doctoral and undergraduate students. The Department is particularly interested in candidates who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a commitment to improving access and the conditions in higher education for underrepresented students.

Additional required qualifications include a doctoral degree in education or related field; and a national reputation and established record of generating extramural funding for research.

Salary: The level of appointment will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary will be based on University of California pay scales.

Closing date: Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2017 and will continue until the position is filled.
