Subject: Faculty Position - University at Albany
See posting for faculty position at the University at Albany:
Assistant or Associate Professor of Public Policy
Department of Public Administration & Policy
Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy
University at Albany - SUNY
The Department of Public Administration & Policy in the University at Albany’s Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy seeks to hire a
scholar of public policy at either the Assistant or Associate Professor rank.
We welcome applications from candidates interested in a wide range of policy areas (for instance, homeland security, health policy, information policy, social welfare policy, etc.), but have a particular interest
in environmental policy / sustainability with a focus on climate change policy, management of the consequences of climate change, or management of climate-induced disasters and events at the local, state/provincial, national, or multi-national levels.
We are seeking to build our capacity in the emerging field of "policy informatics”.
Preference will be given to scholars that use advanced analytic techniques (statistical modeling, mining “big data,” automated text processing, social network analysis, etc.), computational modeling (such as
agent-based models or system dynamics), and/or communication technologies (such as social media or participatory platforms) to leverage diverse data sources to foster innovations in policy, governance processes, and institutions.
Additional preference will be given to scholars that have experience working in research-practice partnerships and/or communicating directly with citizens, policymakers, and other stakeholders about
public policy problems. Experience with grant development is a plus, as is contribution to any of the Department’s areas of distinctive competence (see the list below). We prefer candidates that can contribute
to our existing undergraduate, MPA, and/or doctoral programs as well as our new Masters of International Affairs (MIA) program. The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. in public policy, economics, political
science, sociology, atmospheric or climate sciences, or an allied field by August 2015.
Rockefeller College is home to a diverse group of scholars interested in teaching and research on issues of importance in the public and nonprofit sectors. Ranked 16th overall by US News and World
Report, the Department of Public Administration and Policy offers an undergraduate major, a Masters in Public Administration (MPA), and a PhD in Public Administration and Policy. The Department is nationally ranked in IT/e-government, public management, non-profit
management and public finance/public financial management. Additionally, the Department has highly active programs of research in homeland security, health policy, financial market regulation, and system dynamics. Expanding research, course offerings, and
community service in public policy is a major strategic priority. We actively seek and support demographic diversity in our faculty and student body. To learn more about the Department visit our website at
