Assistant Professor - Teacher Education
Position Type:
Assistant Professor - Teacher Education
Position Type:
Regular
Salary Range:
The salary range for this position is $85,947 to $95,410 depending on the successful candidate's years of teaching experience at the college-level.
Purpose:
Four commitments ground the mission of the Education Department: Cura personalis, or the care for and growth of the whole person, which informs not just how we teach our teachers, but also how we expect our teachers to engage their own K-12 students; social justice, or the pursuit of educational equity through the preparation of teachers who deliver culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogy that helps all students learn; transformation through the development of our students into equity-oriented teachers and agents of change; and diversity of faculty and students, who enrich K-12 schools, our teacher preparation program and scholarly research through their critical voices and perspectives.
Our teacher preparation program (MATTC) faculty have re-written and re-imagined our teacher preparation program to embrace a fully inclusive model of education that will result in students' eligibility for a dual credential (General Education and Special Education). Our aim is to ensure all educators are prepared for the learning needs and neuro-diversity present in every classroom. Our Department of Education endeavors to live out these commitments not only in its academic and scholarly pursuits, but especially in its K-12 school partnerships. Faculty teach courses at Santa Clara University's main campus and our East San Jose campus, which hosts several K-12 schools serving students from an underserved and culturally rich Latinx neighborhood. We are seeking a colleague who fully embraces our mission and seeks to actively carry it out in each facet of the position.
We invite applications for an Assistant Professor in the area of Teacher Education to serve as a tenure track faculty member of our Department of Education. This position is for an individual focused on the field of teacher education, broadly conceived, whose scholarly research is focused on the study of teacher education, teacher learning and development, and/or the social contexts of education and teaching. While the area of specialization within this field is open, we are interested in candidates whose work brings a critical lens to understanding and supporting teachers to disrupt and dismantle systemic inequalities in educational settings. Successful candidates will be able to teach a variety of foundation courses related to understanding the social, cultural, and psychological contexts of education that set the tone and background for our teacher preparation program.
Candidates should be skilled at relating educational theories to the everyday practice of teaching. In addition to having a strong commitment to equity and justice, ideal candidates will have a demonstrated record of collaboration and innovation. Experience teaching in K-12 schools is strongly preferred, though candidates who bring a strong background in related areas will be considered. We especially seek candidates with experience working in racially, ethnically, linguistically, and economically diverse schools and communities, particularly through school-university partnerships. Although not required, candidates who have some expertise in working in schools with large emerging bilingual populations should address this interest in their cover letter.
Santa Clara University and the Department of Education subscribe to a strong teacher-scholar model, in which all tenure track faculty share a strong commitment to both teaching and research. In addition to a commitment to teaching and students, candidates should have a strong record of research consistent with their professional rank and a research agenda focused on some aspect of teacher education.
Salary and benefits are competitive, and the compensation package includes potential eligibility for SCU's housing assistance program.
The successful candidate will satisfy all of the following requirements:
- Earned PhD in Education or related field.
- Outstanding teacher and a strong commitment to teaching and the preparation of the next generation of teachers.
- Proven success for accomplishment in scholarship, commensurate with the tenure expectations of a university committed to a teacher-scholar model.
- Committed to the mission of the university with an emphasis on anti-racism and a just and sustainable world.
- Familiarity with or a commitment to learning the California teacher standards.
- An interest or experience in participating in the securement of grants to support scholarships for students earning teaching credentials.
- An interest or experience partnering with local, regional, national, and/or international institutions, and professional organizations.
- Experience working with diverse and marginalized communities in K-12 settings.
- Evidence of successful college/university teaching.
- Demonstrated ability to advise graduate students and contribute to overall program development.
- Evidence of a strong program of research and a promising research agenda.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Cover letter addressing essential qualifications, scholarship agenda, and teaching philosophy.
- Three samples of recent written work. Published work is preferred, but recent work showcasing the applicants' research direction is also encouraged.
- A statement demonstrating the candidate's commitment to social justice, anti-racism, and diversity. Candidates can speak about how their work, research, and/or teaching contribute to our commitment to ensuring an inclusive environment for students, staff and faculty, and in support of inclusion in the broader educational and social impact community.
- Recent teaching evaluations, if available.
- Names and contact information for four references. References will be contacted at the finalist stage, and candidates will be told before references will be contacted.
- Teaching: The area of teaching emphasis for this position is Teacher Education. Courses will include those in the Master of Arts in Teaching + Teaching Credential (MATTC) teacher preparation program and may include courses in the EdD Program. Specific teaching assignments will depend on the expertise and interests of the candidate, but those with expertise related to anti-racist education and related equity and access issues in K-12 settings are especially encouraged to apply. Faculty typically teach six quarter-based courses per year.
- Advising: Student advising in the program includes academic advising and mentoring students on their professional growth.
- Research: Faculty are expected to have an active research agenda and a steady record of publication in high-quality outlets.
- Service: Engage in Department, School, University, Academic Community, local community service and leadership commensurate with their position.
The health and safety of the University community is a top priority.
