The School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University invites applications for a tenure- track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in Organizational Management and Leadership, effective 1 July 2022. Through research, teaching and supervision, the successful candidate will participate in the development and delivery of the School’s graduate programs.

A research-intensive School , situated in a unique Faculty of Public Affairs , is a recognized centre of academic excellence in public policy and public administration. It is the largest and oldest school of its kind in Canada and is well-known internationally, offering a PhD in Public Policy, Master of Public Policy and Administration, Master of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership, a joint MA in Sustainable Energy, an online graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Program Evaluation, and a graduate Diploma in Indigenous Policy and Administration. The School’s multidisciplinary faculty members are engaged in diverse research and teaching initiatives and are regularly called upon for their expertise by government departments, NGOs, and international agencies. More information on the School is available at www.carleton.ca/sppa and on the University as a whole at the Faculty Affairs website: www.carleton.ca/provost.

Candidates should have earned or be close to completion of a PhD in a relevant discipline by July 1, 2022, and have demonstrated promise of excellence in research and teaching related to public administration, public management, and/or organizational theory and leadership.

The ideal candidate’s research should reflect a broad and nuanced understanding of the increasingly complex leadership and governance structures in which public policy is developed. We seek candidates whose research addresses organizational change and the roles that leadership and management can play in these processes within a broad range of institutional settings, including public service and nonprofit and civil society organizations. This position will integrate research across several crucial School programs (e.g., Public Policy and Administration; Sustainable Energy; Program Evaluation; Nonprofit Leadership; Indigenous Administration). The person appointed would be ideally situated to enhance the School’s reputation in inclusive and innovative leadership and governance and play a key role in related funding applications and projects. In their applications, we invite candidates to reflect on the implications of their research agenda for Indigenous peoples and traditionally excluded and marginalized groups in Canadian society.

Applications should include:

• Covering letter and Curriculum vitae;
• Statement of research interest;
• Teaching portfolio with a statement on teaching philosophy and evidence of effectiveness; and
• One or more research papers or publications.

The application materials should be sent electronically as four separate pdf documents to: Dr. Jennifer Stewart, Director, School of Public Policy and Administration, [email protected] . Applicants should also arrange to have three confidential letters of reference sent directly by the referees to the same email address. Review of the files will begin December 15, 2021. Interviews will take place in early January 2022.

Please indicate in your application whether you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.
