Position description

The Department of Education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is seeking to fill Assistant Professor positions as part of a cluster hire in the School of Education and Information Studies with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2024, with expertise in using innovative, critical, and advanced methods to improve opportunity and equity for Latinx communities. Strong candidates will have a deep understanding of research in their field and expertise bridging theories and methods to address compelling questions involving Latinx learners, change agents in education, and improvement of educational contexts.

UCLA aims to achieve federal designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution by 2025. In preparation for this designation, the Office of the Chancellor and the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost have sponsored this search in order to recruit exceptional scholars whose teaching, scholarship and/or mentoring has strong ties to Latinx experiences in the United States. This search is conducted in partnership between the Chicano Studies Research Center and the School of Education and Information Studies. Faculty hired through this search are expected to maintain an active affiliation to the Chicano Studies Research Center and encourage the success of Latinx and first-generation scholars. We especially welcome candidates whose professional experience, community engagement, and personal background have facilitated their understanding of and ability to better serve students from Latinx, low-income, and other traditionally underrepresented communities in higher education.

Candidates should further demonstrate the ability to teach and mentor doctoral students, masters, and undergraduates in an engaging and accessible manner. Faculty are expected to have an inclusive approach to mentoring and advising, and experience working with diverse student identities (e.g. gender, race, income, immigration status).

The Department of Education research, teaching, and service partnerships from pre-kinder to higher education across California and Los Angeles and seeks to advance social justice and transform education in a diverse society, working in local contexts, as well as national and international communities. Our department’s faculty interests include a wide variety of domains of education research, disciplinary thought, and methodological focus, as well as several nationally recognized research centers.

Basic qualifications (Required at Time of Application)

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D., Ed.D., or have advanced to candidacy in Education or a related discipline at the time of application, with evidence of excellence in research (publications), teaching, and service commensurate with experience. We invite applications from a wide variety of subspecialties and research foci within education, including but not limited to critical methodologies, social contexts of education, educational policy, and institutional transformation.
Candidates may have expertise in a variety of paradigms and approaches in quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods.

Expected Start Date: July 1, 2024

The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment (See Table 1). The salary range for this position is $74,600-$97,200. “Off-scale salaries” and other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions.

Additional qualifications (Required at Time of Start)

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated
findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
