The
Bowdoin College Education
Department invites applications for a tenure-track appointment
at the rank of assistant professor to begin fall 2014. We seek a
scholar who will pursue a productive research agenda, engage
undergraduate students in the study of education as a social phenomenon and guide students in a
secondary-level teacher preparation program that serves urban,
rural and suburban populations. Applicants should have a
strong background in the foundations of U.S. public education;
preference will be given to candidates with expertise in
secondary bilingual literacy and secondary math and/or science
education. Applicants should demonstrate a commitment to
scholarship, model best pedagogical practices and promote the
interdependence of theory and practice. The successful
candidate will teach four courses per year including an
introductory course, a course in educational studies and a
course in teacher education. Supervision for student teachers
rotates amongst faculty each year and, with a reflective
seminar, is included in the course load. Ph.D. preferred, ABD
considered. Experience teaching or otherwise working closely
with secondary-level students is highly desirable.
