Associate or Full Professor in "Technology, Society and Policy" The UCR School of Public Policy (SPP) invites applications for a tenured faculty appointment in technology, society and policy. The appointment will be at the Associate or Full Professor rank. We are looking for candidates with a strong research record and policy interest in topics at the intersection of society and technology (particularly broadband and digital technologies), with an emphasis on the role of public policy in expanding broadband access and digital literacy, including ways that science and technology policy can improve social and economic opportunities and civic participation. We are particularly interested in candidates that have a research interest in how broadband access and digital technologies can improve student learning outcomes, narrow the achievement gap in education, and foster equality of opportunity for students across the grade-level spectrum-from kindergarten through college. Applicants should have an established record or promise of outstanding research accomplishment and teaching; they will be expected to teach and guide the research of master's and doctoral students, to be committed to a cutting-edge research program that has direct implications for policy reform, and to further develop the new School of Public Policy (SPP). Relevant connections include other core areas of interest in the SPP, including health policy, environmental policy, and other aspects of social policy (such as education and immigration), and interdisciplinary research centers in poverty, sustainable development, healthy communities, and criminology. The successful applicant will also be expected to play a leadership role in establishing, and fund-raising for, a new Center for Broadband Policy and Digital Literacy within SPP. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a related discipline or field, such as public policy, education, anthropology, communications, economics, political science, psychology, or sociology. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with education and experience. The appointment will commence on July 1, 2017. Applications should include a letter of interest, a CV, a sample of research work, and contact information of 3-5 references. All materials must be uploaded using UCR's on-line application system located at https:aprecruit.ucr.edu. Review of the applications will begin December 12, 2016 and will continue until the position is filled. To ensure full consideration, applications and supporting material should be received by December 11, 2016.
