    Job Description:
    The Department of Public Administration & Policy, Rockefeller College of
    Public Affairs and Policy, University at Albany SUNY seeks a tenure-track
    Assistant Professor in the area of Public Management. Our primary interest
    is in scholars of non-profit management, but we will also entertain
    applicants with a focus in local government management.

    Rockefeller College is home to a diverse group of over 40 full-time scholars
    interested in teaching and research on issues of importance in the public
    and nonprofit sectors. Ranked 14th overall by US News and World Report, the
    Department of Public Administration and Policy offers an undergraduate
    major, a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) that includes policy
    specializations, and a PhD in Public Administration and Policy. The
    Department is affiliated with six research centers around the University at
    Albany that provide support for a wide variety of grant-funded projects. The
    Department is nationally ranked in IT/e-government, public management, and
    public finance/public financial management. Additionally, the Department has
    highly active programs of research in homeland security, health policy,
    financial market regulation, and system dynamics. We actively seek and
    support demographic diversity in our faculty and student body. To learn more

    Requirements:
    The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in public administration, public
    management, public policy, public affairs, management, political science, or
    an allied field by August 2010. Ph.D. must be from a college or university
    accredited by the US Department of Education or an internationally
    recognized accrediting organization. Candidates are expected to teach in the
    undergraduate, MPA, and/or Ph.D. core classes as well as offer courses that
    are specific to the non-profit or local government concentrations in the MPA
    and Ph.D. degrees. Experience in the practice of administration is preferred
    but not required. Experience with grant seeking is also desired.
    Contribution to one of the Department's areas of distinctive competence is
    also a plus (see above for a list) but secondary to our interest in
    enhancing our teaching and research capabilities in non-profit management or
    local government management. Applicants must address in their application
    their ability to work with culturally diverse populations.
