by jeremy hunsinger 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

The School of Public and International Affairs seeks to fill two or three tenure-track positions affiliated with the Center for Public Administration and Policy (CPAP) at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. The School includes CPAP, Urban Affairs and Planning (UAP), and Government and International Affairs. CPAP, UAP, and GIA offer Master's programs in Blacksburg and Alexandria, Virginia (just outside of Washington, D.C.). CPAP and UAP offer Ph.D. programs in Blacksburg and Alexandria. CPAP also offers its Master of Public Administration degree in Richmond, the state capital. These positions are intended to help place the new school at the forefront of major shifts in patterns of governance, democratic action, and accountability. Emphases include collaboration across sectors to deliver public services; exploration of the character of equity and justice in a diverse society; study of the disparate impacts of ongoing globalization; and improved measures of financial and social accountability and their implications for public administration and public policy implementation. The School seeks strong candidates for one position to include an emphasis in budgeting and financial administration and for the other one or two positions to include some combination of teaching and research interests in the following: public management, including human resources; public policy and policy analysis; methods; public administration history and theory; collaborative governance; nonprofit management; and the impact of globalization and information technology on governance. The positions are subject to available funding and are at the assistant professor level. Both CPAP and UAP have nationally ranked Master's programs and highly regarded Ph.D. programs. The school's funded research for 2003-04 exceeded five million dollars channeled through centers of basic and applied research with foci in housing, social services, health, policy outreach and research, innovative governance, and metropolitan studies. The successful candidates will be located in Blacksburg, Virginia with expectations for some teaching in Alexandria and Richmond. Candidates should be prepared to 1) contribute to CPAP and SPIA efforts to address the new challenges of governance; 2) teach a share of the specific courses within the CPAP curriculum for doctoral and master's students, including those necessary for NASPAA accreditation; 3) teach occasionally in any of the three CPAP locations; 4) serve as chair or committee member on doctoral dissertations in CPAP and SPIA; and 5) participate in or develop sponsored research projects that would serve or complement the aims of the School's research institutes.
