The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Justice Leadership (DEIJ-L) graduate program at Tufts University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is seeking applicants for one or more faculty positions: a Program Director/Full-Time Senior Lecturer position to begin in Summer 2024 and/or a Full-Time Lecturer to begin in September 2024. The DEIJ-L interdisciplinary program is focused on engaging students with scholarly theories and practical tools for careers leading organizational and societal change for greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.
The selected candidate for the Director/Senior Lecturer position will be expected to begin a three-year potentially renewable term as Program Director in Summer 2024. With the support of the part-time faculty, full-time faculty, staff, Steering Committee, and Advisory Board the Director oversees all aspects of program administration including admissions, curriculum, advising, and hiring for the in-person and online MA and certificate programs. The workload consists of a combination of teaching (both virtual and in-person courses as well as advising) and service (at the program, school, and university levels) obligations equivalent to six courses per academic year. Senior Lecturers are eligible for five-year renewable contracts.
Full-time Lecturers teach an equivalent of six courses per academic year with course equivalencies available for above average advising and service obligations. Full-Time Lecturers are eligible for one-, two-, or three-year renewable contracts.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in areas that include, but are not limited to, Organizational Leadership, Education, Urban and Environmental Planning, Child Study and Human Development, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, and Political Science. In addition, demonstrated expertise and experience in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice leadership, organizational change, critical theory, program evaluation, and data analytics are all areas of interest. The teaching, scholarship, and practice interests of the successful candidate should be in the areas around these themes broadly conceived. Strong candidates for the Program Director/Senior Lecturer position must have, at minimum, 6 years of full-time teaching, leadership, and administrative experience - though even more experience in these areas is desirable. Familiarity or experience with the development and teaching of virtual synchronous and asynchronous courses is highly preferred. The successful candidates are expected to relocate to the area and maintain a consistent on-campus presence.
