The Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development invites applications for a full-time Senior Lecturer of Education Leadership. We seek an individual with substantial leadership experience within PK-12 school systems to support the training of future school system leaders within the college’s masters and EdD program. Boston University believes that cultural and social diversity is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our research and academic programs. We are seeking a colleague who shares our commitment to building equitable and just education environments, and who can expand our partnerships within Boston and other school systems that serve diverse student populations.

Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition dedicated to inclusion and social justice. We are proud of our record of inclusiveness and that we were the first American university to award a Ph.D. to a woman. BU Wheelock includes equity, diversity, and belonging as one of five strategic goals. We are dedicated to increasing the participation of all students and are committed to the pursuit of careers within education and human development by underrepresented groups at BU and beyond.

Education Leadership faculty teach primarily graduate-level courses, advise students, and provide service to the college and university. The successful candidate will also work in collaboration with department faculty to grow our leadership programs, including through activities related to student recruitment and building institutional partnerships.

This Senior Lecturer position begins no later than September 1, 2022. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Applications from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Consistent with our strategic plan and Boston University’s diversity statement, our focus on equitable and just systems of education and human development.

Organization

The Difference Is Our DNA

What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.

A Community Unlike Any Other

As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.

Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.

Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.

Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.

World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.

A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.

The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
