Associate Professor/Professor Public Affairs

The Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) at the Indianapolis campus seeks to fill one senior (tenured) faculty position beginning in August 2019.  The fields of specialization are open, and we seek someone to complement our existing strengths and priorities.  Currently, we have program priorities in research and teaching in a variety of public affairs domains, including public management, environmental policy, emergency management, nonprofit management, policy analysis, urban governance, and public finance. SPEA has strong interests in building on our strengths in urban affairs, diversity and social equity, and community development.

All applicants for tenured positions must present evidence of high-quality research and an ambitious research program.  An outstanding research record and scholarly reputation is necessary for a tenured appointment at either the Associate Professor or Professor level.  Applicants should have a Ph.D. in an appropriate field (e.g., public affairs, economics, public administration, political science, sociology).  

Teaching responsibilities include courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The standard teaching load within the school is four courses per year, typically with small class sizes.

SPEA is a multi-disciplinary professional school of Indiana University, committed to excellence in research, teaching, and civic engagement.

The school’s nonprofit management program has been ranked in the Top 10 in the country for the past decade and is currently ranked 7th nationally. Our MPA in Public Management is ranked 37th.
