Tenure-Track Faculty, Department of Public Administration

The Department of Public Administration at Villanova University invites applicants for an entry level, tenure-track position in public administration beginning Fall Semester 2018.  We are especially interested in applicants who can teach graduate courses in Arts and Theater Management. Experience in the public and/or nonprofit sector is highly desirable.

Primary teaching responsibilities include teaching on-campus and online graduate courses in the NASPAA-accredited Master of Public Administration (MPA) program as well as at the undergraduate level in our Public Service and Administration minor. We offer a 3-2 teaching load for the first three years. After a successful Third Year Review, a one-semester sabbatical is available in the fourth year and the 3-2 teaching load may be continued for another three years contingent on one’s publication record.

Ph.D. must be completed by June 30, 2018. Preference will be given to applicants who provide evidence of teaching effectiveness, particularly online, and show promise of a strong record of publication.

The mission of the Master of Public Administration program is to offer graduates the knowledge of values, roles, skills, and practices that will help them become competent professionals capable of ethical, intelligent, and creative leadership in public service. The Villanova MPA Program is a NASPAA accredited program. For more information about the Department of Public Administration at Villanova, visit www.publicadmin.villanova.edu.  For more information about the online MPA program at Villanova, visit www.onlinempa.villanova.edu.
