ABOUT FIELDING GRADUATE UNIVERSITY

Fielding Graduate University is an innovative global community dedicated to educating scholars, leaders, and practitioners in pursuit of a more just and sustainable world. We do this by providing exemplary interdisciplinary programs within a distributed and relational learning model grounded in student-driven inquiry and leading to enhanced knowledge.   Fielding has approximately 1,050 students and 176 faculty members residing throughout the United States and internationally. Please visit our website at www.fielding.edu to learn more.

Summary

This is a multidisciplinary program that offers two degrees: Human Development PhD and Organizational Development and Change PhD. Successful applicants will be teaching and mentoring students in both programs. However, this faculty position has an emphasis in Human Development teaching, practice, and scholarship. 

Core faculty members are expected to engage in three general areas of effort: to provide mentoring and educational experiences for students; to be productive in scholarship and practice; and to engage in governance and service to the School of Leadership Studies (SLS) and Fielding Graduate University.

Faculty members supervise doctoral dissertations, teach course seminars that mix synchronous and asynchronous interactions, and offer in person seminars at one residential event per year and sometimes at smaller regional events. (From March 2020 through Fall 2022 all courses and events have been delivered virtually due to the pandemic. HOD in-person events are planned to resume in January 2023.)

Faculty members also conduct regular meetings (currently via Zoom) with students individually and with groups.

Faculty areas of effort include, but are not limited to, the following responsibilities:

  • Engage in collaborative education for self-directed adult learners. 
  • Assess students’ academic performance to achieve educational, personal, and professional development goals.
  • Support students through individualized academic and professional feedback to strengthen doctoral-level knowledge and skills.
  • Remain productive in scholarship and practice to better serve students. 
  • Engage in professional service to the HOD Programs and Fielding Graduate University that contributes to student achievement.
  • Engage in community, social, and organizational change action within the HOD Programs, Fielding, and in larger societal contexts.

 

QUALIFICATIONS

We seek scholar-practitioners who are 3 years post doctorate from an accredited institution; have taught at the doctoral level and supervised doctoral dissertations; and have an active research program with a record of research/scholarly publications. 

Candidates who wish to be considered for this doctoral faculty position must be able to show proof of the right to work in the U.S.

This faculty position has an emphasis in Human Development teaching, practice, and scholarship. Examples of earned doctorates could be in the fields of psychology, human development, sociology, education, anthropology, leadership, coaching, communication, or a related field. Degrees in organization studies and organizational development will also be considered, however there should be knowledge and experience in human development.

We are particularly interested in applicants with successful teaching, research or scholarship, and applied work in the areas of social equity and ecological justice. Special consideration will be given to those applicants who have demonstrated research and publication expertise that explore the intersections  of Human Development in any of the following areas: Women/Gender Studies, Cultural/ Ethnic Studies, Humanistic Aging, Consciousness Studies, Leadership Studies and Coaching. We value a range of methodologies including qualitative, interpretative/critical, mixed methods and/or quantitative methods. Preferred candidates will also have had graduate teaching experience in research methodologies and have published in peer-reviewed publications. 

Applicants who can contribute to diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and mentorship are strongly encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates who have earned their doctorate at other institutions. 

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization, and we are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job. That candidate may be one who comes from a background less traditional to our field of work, and that’s welcome. We strongly encourage you to apply if you believe you meet the qualifications described.

Organization

Fielding Graduate University is an innovative global community dedicated to educating scholars, leaders, and practitioners in pursuit of a more just and sustainable world. We do this by providing exemplary interdisciplinary programs within a distributed and relational learning model grounded in student-driven inquiry and leading to enhanced knowledge.

Fielding's History
Fielding was founded in March 1974 in Santa Barbara, California, by Frederic Hudson, Hallock Hoffman, and Renata Tesch. The founders envisioned a nationally recognized graduate school based on two notions:
•    Changing demographics were altering the world of higher education: greater numbers of mid-career adults seeking advanced degrees to enhance already established academic and professional skills.
•    Adults learn differently than adolescents and young adults: The traditional pedagogical method of education-active teacher, passive learner-would not be appropriate.
Fielding developed a rigorous, supportive learning model that is flexible, adult-centered, self-directed, practice-oriented, global, and competence-based. While most coursework is online, there are several in-person opportunities for students and others.

Values
Academic Excellence: We commit to the highest quality scholarship, research, and practice.
Community: We support a collaborative learning environment built on inclusion and mutual respect.
Diversity: We commit to having a faculty, staff, and student body that is diverse and inclusive. We embrace and celebrate the wisdom, knowledge, and experiences of our diverse community.
Learner-centered Education: We create an interactive experience that responds to the interrelated personal and professional lives of our students.
Social Justice: We commit to advancing equality and justice in our University, and in the local, national, and global communities impacted by our work.
Transformational Learning: We inspire a re-examination of one's worldview and underlying assumptions to enable a deeper understanding of self and society

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Fielding Graduate University has a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from our earliest beginnings in the early 1970s. With the founding focus of providing doctoral education to mid-career adults, we offered graduate experiences specifically designed for people who had been left out of traditional education. Since that time, diversity, equity, and inclusion remain an active process that requires continuous commitment to promote collaborative learning and change through attracting, retaining, graduating, and honoring a more diverse population of students, faculty, staff, alums, and community friends. Social and ecological justice is part of our explicit commitment to understanding, analyzing, and acting to reduce inequality, oppression, and social stratification, recognizing the linkages between economic, social, and ecological justice. The university strives to ensure that elements of DEI are embodied in all academic programs, including course content, faculty, staff and student performance, assessment, and accountability. We challenge our community to think boldly and take specific actions that are realistic and measurable.
Fielding’s Global Inclusion Council is an advisory group that provides guidance to the President on issues pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Council members represent the diversity of the Fielding community across different demographics, constituencies, schools, and programs. The council exists to support the university’s commitment to embedding DEI into the culture.
Fielding sponsors numerous DEI events and learning sessions. These include panel webinars, dialogues and engagements sessions, speakers, and related documentaries led and facilitated by faculty, students, staff, and alums. These interactive learning opportunities cover a myriad of topics and issues like racism and COVID-19, LGBTQIA+ pride, Black feminism, DEI-related book discussions and panels, cultural heritage spotlights, as well as a number of school and program-sponsored learning programs.

Briefly describe how your organization supports the local community:
Fielding Graduate University was founded on the values of equity, inclusion, and social justice. The university is a leader in higher education providing exemplary interdisciplinary programs for a diverse community of scholar-practitioners within a distributed learning model. Because Fielding is a distributed institution, its students, faculty, and staff are located around the world. Thus, the overall community the university serves is very much a global one. However, Fielding is also an active business leader in the local community of Santa Barbara, California, the location of the university’s main campus and administrative offices. In this role and in keeping with the university’s core values, Fielding actively supports several charitable organizations within the Santa Barbara community, such as the LGBTQIA+ Pacific Pride Foundation, The Association for Women in Communications, The Fund for Santa Barbara, UC Santa Barbara Arts & Lectures, Child Abuse Listening Mediation (CALM), the Environmental Defense Center, and more.
Briefly describe any interesting recent events at your organization:
In 2023, Fielding hosted myriad events, including its Global Ecological and Social Justice Service Year, an anniversary celebration in March, Juneteenth programming in conjunction with Pacifica Graduate Institute and its Alumni Association, in-person and virtual graduation ceremonies, monthly observances, and other university-wide and program-specific initiatives. 2024 is Fielding’s 50th Anniversary year, which brings a host of special events and observances throughout the year.
