Job Description

The Stanford Graduate School of Education seeks applicants at any faculty rank for a position in education and organizations. We seek an empirical social-science researcher who studies organizations such as schools and school systems, colleges and universities, education businesses, education philanthropies, government and regulatory agencies, and the relationships among these and other organizations that constitute the ecosystem for education—in the United States and/or internationally.

The successful candidate will join a community of faculty who study educational phenomena from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, many of whom have interests in collaborating with colleagues across the university as well as with practitioners to understand and facilitate change. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach and advise students at the graduate level.
