Colleagues:
We are filling a new role of clinical professor position in our department at the Assistant or Associate level.
This new faculty member will primarily teach in our undergraduate public policy and our MPA programs. We also hope that this person will immediately or eventually serve as director of the undergraduate program. In this case, the teaching load will likely be six per year and a two course reduction to accommodate the administrative assignment.
This clinical position is designed for someone who is looking for a permanent position at a research university and is a strong teacher, but does not want to deal with the research expectations that go with the tenure track position. Clinical faculty in the Department of Public Administration are evaluated on the basis of teaching and service. The Clinical position is not temporary, but simply not tenure track. Our Assistant Clinical Professors have a path for promotion to Associate and Full Professors.
Please share this announcement with anyone you think might be interested in this opportunity. It could be a great opportunity for someone who wants to be at an urban research university but does not want the research expectations that go with tenure track positions. It could also be a great opportunity for someone who enjoys teaching undergraduate students and wants the opportunity to help shape their careers. UIC has a highly diverse student body and many of our undergraduate students are first generation college students.
The search closes on January 4, 2016. We may extend it by a few weeks, but I am not sure yet.
Best Regards,
Jered
