<br>Requisition #: 104953
<br>
<br>DIRECTOR, Science, Technology, and Society Program (Tenure Track, OPEN
<br>RANK, Associate/Full Professor Preferred)
<br>
<br>The College of Liberal Arts at California Polytechnic State University, San
<br>Luis Obispo invites applications for a full-time, academic-year
<br>tenure-track position of Assistant/Associate/Full Professor and Director of
<br>Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Program, beginning September 12,
<br>2019. The position includes a strong expectation for teaching excellence,
<br>scholarly productivity and professional development, and service to the
<br>department, college, university, and community. Candidates must demonstrate
<br>the ability to lead the growth and operation of the STS minors and emerging
<br>interdisciplinary programs, including a possible Interdisciplinary Studies
<br>(IS) major and department, and other opportunities. The successful
<br>candidate should demonstrate leadership ability, a broad vision for the
<br>future of STS/IS in the College of Liberal Arts at Cal Poly, and the
<br>ability to effectively collaborate across disciplines. Applications are
<br>sought from any discipline represented by one of the college's 15
<br>tenure-line departments.
<br>
<br>This position carries both teaching and administrative duties. Credit
<br>toward tenure may be awarded depending on years of teaching experience,
<br>professional development, and rank. The administrative assignment is for an
<br>initial period of three years, renewable at the Dean's discretion. Academic
<br>rank and salary will be commensurate with the selected candidate's
<br>qualifications and experience.
<br>
<br>The typical teaching load in Cal Poly's College of Liberal Arts is 12 units
<br>per quarter, with correspondingly reasonable research/scholarship and
<br>service expectations. Candidates will also have a significant reduction in
<br>course load in the first one to two years to help establish an active
<br>program of research/scholarship/creative activity and to oversee the
<br>leadership of the STS/IS Program. For this position, teaching and service
<br>assignments will be divided between the interdisciplinary programs and the
<br>home department in proportions agreeable to all parties. The successful
<br>candidate will teach courses such as Introduction to Science, Technology,
<br>and Society; Advanced Project-Based Learning in Science, Technology, and
<br>Society; Interdisciplinary Research Methods; and/or specific courses as
<br>determined by areas of expertise and programmatic need. The successful
<br>candidate will be expected to communicate effectively and work
<br>cooperatively with students, faculty, staff, and administration.
<br>
<br>Cal Poly strongly values diversity and inclusion, especially in the
<br>classroom and among its areas of study. This search will occur at the same
<br>time as a university-wide cluster of searches designed to increase
<br>curricular coverage of areas related to diversity and inclusion, as well as
<br>to promote inclusive teaching strategies across the university. If the
<br>successful candidate's research and teaching overlaps with the area of
<br>diversity and inclusion, they will have the opportunity to join and support
<br>these university efforts.
<br>
<br>PhD in Science and Technology Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies or related
<br>field, or PhD or equivalent with a STS emphasis in any of the following
<br>disciplines in the College of Liberal Arts: Communication Studies, English,
<br>Ethnic Studies, History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology &
<br>Child Development, Social Sciences (Sociology, Anthropology, Geography),
<br>Women's & Gender Studies and World Languages & Cultures (i.e., Spanish,
<br>French, German). MFA or other terminal Masters Degree would qualify as a
<br>terminal degree in the following CLA disciplines: MFA for Art and Theatre;
<br>MA/MS for Journalism and Graphic Communication. Evidence of successful
<br>university teaching and programmatic leadership are required. Applicants
<br>must have training that intersects in meaningful ways with STS, which can
<br>come from a range of disciplinary homes, and must approach scholarship,
<br>teaching and service from an interdisciplinary perspective. Teaching,
<br>research and service must reflect a level of activity appropriate for rank.
<br>Salary and rank are commensurate with qualifications and experience.
<br>
<br>Preference will be given to candidates with a record of demonstrated
<br>excellence in programmatic leadership and development in an STS context.
<br>Experience in an administrative role and/or academic leadership position in
<br>higher education is highly desired.
