Faculty Position Announcement at The New School
Professor (field open)
School of Undergraduate Studies, New School for General Studies
Position Responsibilities:
The New School is seeking up to two senior-rank faculty members
committed to innovative undergraduate education that links liberal
learning, civic engagement, and social and professional practice.
Candidates would join the undergraduate faculty of a newly
integrated division that merges The New School for General Studies
(the university's founding division) with Milano, the New School for
Management and Urban Policy. The division is an innovative venture
organized around interdisciplinary engagement with social issues and
public culture. It comprises not only undergraduate programs, but
also graduate-professional faculties in media studies, writing,
international affairs, urban policy, non-profit management, and the
teaching of English as a second language. The division's School of
Undergraduate Studies includes both a liberal arts bachelor's
program designed to be accessible to adult, "non-traditional"
students and interdisciplinary, issue-oriented programs in
environmental, urban, and global studies. Minimum Qualifications:
Candidates' primary appointment would be in the undergraduate
faculty, although joint appointment is possible with other programs
in the division. The search is open to scholars from all fields, but
there is particular interest in interdisciplinary, engaged scholars
who bridge academic work with social, professional, and public
cultural practice. Especially important is the candidates'
commitment to the role of undergraduate education in a diverse,
complex democracy and to the division's goal of connecting liberal,
practical, professional, and civic learning through innovative,
problem-based curricula. This initiative is being undertaken in
close collaboration with Eugene Lang College The New School for the
Liberal Arts and Parsons The New School for Design, together with
the university's three performance schools.
Review of applications will start on March 8 and will continue until
the position is filled. The starting date for the position is July 1, 2011.
The decision to hire is subject to budget approval.
The New School is committed to maintaining a diverse educational and
creative community, a policy of equal opportunity in all its
activities and programs, including employment and promotion. The New
School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national
