Description:
The Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania invites nominations and applications for a full-time Professor of Practice in Higher Education.
We expect the successful candidate to provide intellectual leadership, through teaching, advising, and by guiding doctoral-level research in regular and executive format programs, including Penn GSE’s flagship Executive Doctoral Program in Higher Education Management. The Exec Doc program focuses on the core management competencies and applied research skills that higher education executives and senior managers require to be effective higher education leaders. We seek a creative and innovative candidate who thinks deeply about issues of leadership and management at colleges and universities. Professor of Practice positions are renewable, five-year appointments.
Qualifications:
The successful candidate will have an earned doctorate and an outstanding record of professional contributions to higher education management, leadership, and/or policy. An ability to make connections between theory and practice is essential. Significant research experience is desirable but not required.
Application Instructions:
We will begin reviewing applications on December 15, 2020 but will continue to consider new applications until the position is filled. Please send a letter expressing your interest and general qualifications, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references.
Penn GSE seeks candidates who, through their research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community. The Higher Education Division strongly encourages applications from individuals who identify as members of groups that are underrepresented.
Organization
Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania! Penn is the largest private employer in Philadelphia and is a world-renowned leader in education, research, and innovation.
Across our 12 highly-regarded schools, more than 25,000 students, and more than 4,000 faculty members, we become one university: a wide-ranging, ever-changing community that draws its strength from a multitude of races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, historical traditions, ages, religions, disabilities, veteran status, interests, perspectives, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Penn carries on the principles and spirit of its founder, Benjamin Franklin: entrepreneurship, innovation, invention, outreach, and a pragmatic love of knowledge. Franklin's practical outlook has remained a driving force in the university's development. To learn more, visit About Penn.
Vision
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Diversity
Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.
Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
