The School of Education at Syracuse University invites applications for two dynamic full-time tenure track assistant professors working at the intersection of Inclusive Education and Literacy Education. Successful candidates will join a highly engaged faculty committed to preparing future educators and researchers to make meaningful, sustained, and equity focused impact on students, schools, and the larger community. We envision these positions as providing expanded opportunities to collaborate and foster synergies between our programs in literacy and inclusive education.

Building on its historic legacy as a leader in both literacy and inclusive education, the School of Education aspires to be the pre-eminent institution for scholarship and instruction across three signature areas: inclusive and antiracist pedagogy and practice; digital learning and instructional technologies; and experiential learning. We seek to expand our global reputation for attracting and preparing transformative teachers, counselors, and other professionals who support meaningful student participation, equitable outcomes, and a culture of belonging across diverse learning contexts and communities.

Aligned with our school wide commitments, we seek individuals with a strong record of research and scholarly interests in (1) inclusive and antiracist curriculum and pedagogy (K-12); (2) asset-based, inclusive, and culturally sustaining literacy instruction (B-12); and
3) Disability Studies in Education (DSE) and/or Disability Critical Race Studies (Dis Crit), particularly as it intersects with literacy and inclusive education. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research, teaching, and scholarly interests align with one or more of our signatures and whose contributions could cut across our programs in inclusive and literacy education. We are also particularly interested in candidates with experience or interest in interdisciplinary teaching and research related to neurodiversity and inclusive approaches to supporting literacy instruction.

Successful candidates will have opportunities to collaborate with interdisciplinary partners both within the school of education and with collaborators across the university in seeking external funding around shared research interests.
