The Department of Curriculum and Teaching at Boston University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor of Special Education position with a focus on the education of students with high incidence disabilities at the secondary level and/or special education administration and policy to start Fall 2012.

We are seeking a faculty member who shares Boston University School of Education’s commitment to both the preparation of educators and the advancement of research and scholarship. This dual commitment is reflected in our present faculty, who combine practical classroom expertise and scholarly attainments. We see these two aspects of our work as a natural and necessary combination: either would be diminished by the absence of the other. The scholarly work deepens and enriches the preparation of educators; and the preparation of educators tethers scholarship to the realities of practice.

Responsibilities include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Special Education; program advising for undergraduate, masters and doctoral students; providing field-based supervision; publishing scholarly work; and providing service to the department, college, university and the professional community.

An earned doctorate in special education or related field is required. Preference will be given to applicants with

1. at least three years of public school teaching or equivalent experience with students with high incidence disabilities;
2. prior college or university teaching experience; and
3. an established program of research focused on secondary special education, instruction of students with high incidence disabilities at the secondary school level or special education policy.

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.
