The School of Education and Human Development (EHD) at the University of Virginia invites applications for a tenure-eligible faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in Administration and Supervision in the Department of Education Leadership, Foundations, and Policy () . The program is top-ranked nationally and seeks an exceptional scholar whose work bridges theory, research, and practice in the service of preparing a new generation of leaders capable of cultivating school and system transformation.

Duties and responsibilities include collaborating on the design and delivery of core licensure courses and advanced leadership courses for the M.Ed. ()  and Ed.D. ()  degree programs. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to have a clear line of research in education leadership and school improvement, have a strong publication record, show evidence of EdD or PhD mentorship experiences, and show evidence of efforts and success generating external funding for scholarship.

The A&S program seeks a faculty member whose research centers on the preparation of educational leaders, the growth and development of current leaders, and/or the effects of leadership in schools. Key areas of scholarship may include opportunity and access, leadership in the early grades (PK-3), adult growth and development, organizational learning and continuous improvement, systems change, and leadership for and with specialized student populations (e.g., multilingual learners, students with disabilities).
