Applicants with professional experience and the ability to teach in the areas of local governance, urban planning, local economic development, local sustainability, interlocal collaboration, collaborative governance, collaborative management, municipal grant seeking and administration, public sector labor relations, public engagement, and related areas are encouraged to apply. Candidates may be specialists in local government management or community development or may have expertise and experience in both areas.

Qualified candidates will have an excellent academic record, including a graduate degree (e.g., MA, MPA, JD, PhD) in a relevant field (e.g., public administration, law, urban planning), relevant professional experience, and a commitment to high quality teaching.

Clinical faculty are also expected to actively engage in service to relevant academic and practitioner communities.

The standard teaching assignment for Lecturer and Clinical faculty is six courses per year offered in a mix of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses. Faculty in these tracks are not eligible for tenure but will be considered for promotion and/or long-term contracts no later than the sixth year of appointment. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. The position start date is August 1, 2023.
