R1 Regional Development
The Department of Public Policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has an opening for a
professor of public policy with substantive interests in regional or international economic development.
Examples of specific areas of related interest might include public finance and tax policy,
entrepreneurship incentives, innovation policy, or science and technology policy. The successful candidate
will play a significant role in the university's teaching, research, and engagement activities in this policy area,
and will also be considered for a senior program leadership role in the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise, a
unit of the Kenan-Flagler Business School whose mission includes these research areas in partnership with the
department (http://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/KI/). Candidates for this position must have an established
record of research and publication, teaching, and service appropriate for a full professorship at a major research
university. Both U.S. and international research applications are welcome; disciplinary background is not as
important as the candidate's analytic rigor and knowledge of the public policy academic enterprise. All
candidates must be interested in teaching at both undergraduate and doctoral levels and in supervising Ph.D.
dissertations and undergraduate honors theses. The Department of Public Policy is within the College of Arts
and Sciences. It confers A.B. and Ph.D. degrees and works closely with other Ph.D.-granting social science
departments in the College, as well as departments and schools offering professional degrees, notably City and
Regional Planning, Public Administration, Business, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Social Work,
Public Health, and Law. The department has a full-time faculty of eleven, fourteen adjunct faculty, and an
enrollment of approximately 20 doctoral students and 200 undergraduate majors
(http://www.unc.edu/depts/pubpol). An additional source of opportunities is the newly created Carolina Institute
for Public Policy, established in association with the department to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations on
policy-relevant research and to promote opportunities for faculty and students to interact with policymakers and
other public leaders. Interested applicants should send a detailed letter of interest and curriculum vitae to the
address below. We will ask for the names of outside references at the appropriate time from those applicants
we wish to pursue further. Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is
filled. Questions or preliminary inquiries may be directed to Richard N. L. Andrews, Thomas Willis Lambeth
Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and chair of the department (pete_andrews@unc.edu, 919-843-5011).
Please send applications to Senior Faculty Search, Department of Public Policy, CB#3435 Abernethy Hall,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3435, or email to policy_search@unc.edu; if by email, a
signed original of the application letter is also requested. Review of applications will begin immediately and
continue until the position is filled. The University of North Carolina is an equal opportunity employer.
Applications are particularly encouraged from women and minority scholars.
