We welcome candidates with doctorates in any relevant social science field—including economics. We seek applicants who are thought leaders with demonstrated excellence in scholarship, who conduct rigorous theoretically grounded empirical research on K-12 education policy issues, and who demonstrate a commitment to examining and contributing to policy or leadership for equitable educational opportunities and outcomes. Strong applicants will use longitudinal education data in their research and will focus on critical issues in K-12 education policy. We seek a candidate at the assistant, associate or full level who will provide leadership around establishing a research alliance with the state and institutionalizing an integrated, comprehensive data system for Delaware. The primary appointment will be in the School of Education, but we expect competitive candidates will have a joint appointment in one of our collaborating schools/departments, including the Biden School of Public Policy and Administration and the Department of Economics.
