The interdisciplinary Children's Studies Program and Center invites applications for a tenure track rank open position beginning in September 2010.  The successful candidate will teach courses in the Program as well as children and youth centered courses in his or her discipline.  It is expected that the candidate's research can be coordinated with the mission of the Children's Studies Program to study the experience of outcomes for children and youth of the New York Child Welfare System along with its relationship to such other city and state agencies as are concerned with education, juvenile/criminal justice, mental and physical health.

It is the intention of the Children's Studies Program and Center to spearhead interdisciplinary accountability research, utilizing the latest research methods, for the analysis of policy issues central to the well being and rights of New York's children and young people.  Since the state and city-focused New York Child Welfare systems do not exist in isolation from federal legislative and fiscal realities, the successful candidate also needs to be familiar with such contexts.  This position provides the opportunity of breaking new ground in urban child policy research.

Qualification
A Ph.D. or the equivalent in a relevant discipline such as anthropology, fiscal economics and the public sector, public health, history, public policy analysis, psychology, social work, and sociology.  Record of teaching experience and scholarly productivity, the latter evidenced by publications and funded grant applications.  Also desirable are:  familiarity with policy and evaluation research in the child welfare sector; the ability to work collaboratively with diverse communities of researchers, practitioners, public policy makers and private sponsors; management ability, including experience in project development, fundraising and budgeting.  The selected candidate should be familiar with relevant major ongoing child research in the social sciences.

Salary
Competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
