PROFESSOR OF EDUCATION AND DEAN
The faculty of the School of Educational Studies at Claremont Graduate University (CGU) seeks a tenured senior faculty colleague who will also serve as Dean of the School for a three to five year renewable term. While the field of scholarship is open, the candidate must be committed to our collective mission - as faculty, staff, and graduate students working together. The School is committed to helping schools and colleges realize systems of accountability that work diligently for social justice. Our work is guided by the following vision:
A socially just nation educates all its diverse citizenry through networks of effective and accountable organizations that interact responsibly with families and communities. These organizations require leaders in classrooms, schools, communities, colleges and capitals who are broadly educated across disciplines and across multiple perspectives. These leaders are committed to thought and action, scholarship and stewardship. They are education’s most responsible critics AND its most creative and prolific architects. These are the graduates of CGU’s School of Educational Studies.
We are searching for a person who, while serving as dean, can provide dynamic leadership, and the ability and willingness to take the program to the next level of excellence. The Dean has primary responsibility for administering the School's daily affairs, fund and program development, and must demonstrate a level of scholarly achievement to warrant appointment with tenure at the rank of full professor. Because of our size and philosophy, deans at CGU are full members of the faculty. Teaching responsibilities are negotiable during the terms of the appointment as Dean.
The CGU program includes a Teacher Education Internship/MA Program, an Urban School Leadership Ph.D./Credential Program, and a significant Ph.D. program with emphasis across all levels, from K-12 to postsecondary education.

SENIOR FACULTY POSITION IN THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONAL STUDIES
CLAREMONT GRADUATE UNIVERSITY
The School of Educational Studies at Claremont Graduate University (CGU) invites nominations and applications for the rank of associate or full professor in the subfield of Higher Education. The position will commence at the beginning of the 2008 academic year.
The Higher Education program at CGU is small and distinctive and exists as part of the School of Educational Studies. Accordingly, we are seeking an established scholar with a strong research record who is broadly grounded, will work closely with a diverse group of graduate students and colleagues, and is effective in teaching mature professionals in small seminars (two seminars a semester). The areas for teaching are open and will depend on the interests of the scholar but might include: public policy and/or history, philosophy, international and comparative, contemporary trends, faculty, leadership, transdisciplinary studies, or community colleges.
The struggle for social justice is not an abstraction here, but an integral part of the School of Educational Studies’ teaching and research. The School is committed to merging work for social justice with forthright accountability. Our graduates, and hence our faculty, are expected to be responsible education critics and architects.
