Faculty Position in International Comparative Education

The Stanford University School of Education seeks to make a tenure track appointment in International and Comparative Education at the assistant professor level.

Candidates should show strong interest and a developed research program in political or cultural issues with an international or comparative focus. The search conceives these issues and focus broadly. They can cover fields such as a) instruction and curricula in schools and/or universities; b) international governmental and non-governmental educational organizations; c) knowledge production and transmission in formal and non-formal settings, and d) immigrant/citizenship and related inequality dynamics. These fields illustrate but do not limit the domains within which candidates may be studying political and cultural issues. The search will not be restricted by academic discipline or by national or regional area of interest.

The appointment will be in the International and Comparative Education concentration, which is housed within the Social Sciences and Educational Practices Area (SSPEP). The SSPEP faculty represents considerable diversity in its theoretical, methodological, and policy expertise and research interests. We seek a colleague who can work effectively within this multidisciplinary mix and who can strengthen the politics and/or culture perspective in an exciting international and comparative program. The candidate should show promise of becoming a leading scholar and strong teacher.

Applicants are required to provide a cover letter describing research agenda and teaching experience, curriculum vitae, and a list of three references with complete addresses and phone numbers. The committee will request letters of recommendation and samples of publications from a small group of finalists.

On line applications are available and are highly recommended. Please submit your application at the Stanford School of Education faculty search site:
