Hello Colleagues!
It is exciting to see all of the great job postings being
shared on this listserv for community engagement-focused positions! I have a
few more to add here :O)
We have just posted 3 faculty positions at the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro and are interested in recruiting three great
colleagues. Please share widely!
- Assistant Professor (tenure
track) 9 month
- Assistant Professor (academic
professional track) 9 month
- Assistant Professor (academic professional track) 12 month
Position Summary:
The Department of Peace and
Conflict Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro seeks
applicants for three (3) Assistant Professor faculty positions (1 tenure track,
2 APT track). The positions will begin August 2018. We are seeking candidates
who have specialization in theory-driven practice and community engagement
across local, national, and international contexts in the areas of group conflict
and reconciliation, civic engagement, peace operations, and working with
diverse populations.
The Department of Peace and
Conflict Studies is committed to conflict transformation to build peaceful and
just social systems through theory-informed practice and community engagement.
We address conflict across sectors and interpersonal, interorganizational, and
international contexts throughout our MA and BA degree programs. We do this by
educating students, online as well as face-to-face, to effectively design
positive and sustainable changes within a variety of settings, sectors, and
contexts. The skills developed in PACS through praxis address the “wicked
issues” of our times which require interdisciplinary theory and practice. We
seek faculty who are interested in joining our department as we continue to
expand and rapidly grow our online curriculum to students across the state and
world, and with foci in global leadership, conflict management, peace and
governance, and civil-military interaction.
We value collaboration with
communities through community-engaged research, teaching, and/or service to
address mutually-beneficial interests and priorities.
