Associate or Assistant Professor of Public Administration
The Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke seeks an associate or assistant professor of public administration with the ability to teach courses in public budgeting and finance at the graduate and undergraduate level in addition to other courses in the discipline. This position will be responsible for teaching a mix of public administration courses at the graduate level and undergraduate levels and at least one of our general education courses (Introduction to Political Science, American National Government, or State and Local Government and Administration). Courses taught at the graduate level will be taught in the online format, while undergraduate teaching will include a combination of on-campus and online teaching modalities.
The area of teaching and research specialization is open, but candidates must show they are qualified to teach graduate level courses in public budgeting and finance. While the teaching load for the university is 4-4, course release time is provided for those who teach graduate courses. The expected teaching for this position is three to five graduate courses each year and one or more undergraduate courses each year, with most courses offered on a predictable rotation.
Preference will be given to candidates who have an interest in program leadership for our M.P.A. program. Candidates at the associate level will only be considered if they have experience demonstrating leadership capability.
