The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure track faculty position at the rank of Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or Professor of Practice focused on the study, teaching, and research of the arts in education.  

The candidate’s area of professional expertise could include: arts-based research; arts pedagogy, in schools or out-of-school settings; arts administration, organization, and policy; arts activism and advocacy; museum education; and community and cultural arts programming. Candidates with expertise in any art discipline are welcome to apply.

The successful candidate for this position will serve as a faculty Co-Chair of the Arts and Learning Concentration for the HGSE Ed.M. program. The role of Co-Chair involves program leadership, design, and assessment as well as the engagement and mentorship of students.

We seek candidates who have the potential to make a powerful contribution to the core curriculum for our master’s and doctoral programs, by teaching required courses and recommended elective courses as part of specific program pathways. The ability to convey conceptual as well as practical knowledge beyond one’s own specific expertise is crucial. High-quality teaching is highly valued at HGSE, and the school has made a strong commitment to cultivating and supporting strong teaching practices among faculty, primarily through the work of the school’s Teaching and Learning Lab. The successful candidate will have the potential to be a strong contributor to the development and delivery of residential and online professional development programs for practitioners, administrators, and leaders through HGSE’s Programs in Professional Education. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to HGSE initiatives focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

HGSE faculty at all ranks advise students and participate in institutional governance and service. Candidates will normally possess a doctorate or another terminal degree. Successful candidates will have teaching experience in academic or non-academic settings; for the rank of Professor of Practice, candidates must have earned national or international distinction. The search committee will begin reviewing applications on November 1, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled. Please submit a CV, cover letter, statement of teaching philosophy that includes a description of the candidate’s orientation toward diversity, equity and inclusion practices, and three or more samples of work online (links, images, and videos welcome) at http://apply.interfolio.com/113796. Candidates invited to interview will be asked to submit additional documents.
