The Humphrey School of Public Affairs of the University of Minnesota seeks applicants for an
Associate or Full Professor position. We seek candidates who focus on public and/or nonprofit

governance, or the critique thereof is highly valued. Candidates with professional or lived
experience of ongoing developments about management, leadership, or governance to advance
equity are especially encouraged to apply.

The University of Minnesota is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Black, Indigenous, people of
color, LGBTQIA+, women and members of historically underrepresented communities are
highly encouraged to apply.
Within the Humphrey School our concept of creating a diverse community broadly encompasses
people with identities that have been historically marginalized in our society and
underrepresented in higher education and the realm of public affairs, particularly: people of
color; indigenous peoples; new immigrant populations; people with both visible and hidden
disabilities; women and people of all gender identities and expressions; and first-generation
college students.
We also recognize issues of access and climate for individuals who might encounter barriers
based on their religious expression, age, national origin, ethnicity, or veteran status.
The Humphrey School is committed to creating, inviting, and welcoming individuals into an
environment where all people have an opportunity to learn and contribute. Within the Humphrey
School we seek always to include multiple and potentially divergent perspectives into a common
community of inquiry and learning.
