The UMass Amherst School of Public Policy is hiring two new assistant professors, to join the growing program in the fall of 2022.

Areas of interest for the search include public or nonprofit management; social policy; technology and governance; and sustainability, environmental, and climate policy. Applications from candidates whose work foregrounds concerns around racial justice and equity, including from intersectional perspectives, within those areas of interest are particularly encouraged.

The new faculty hirings are part of a multi-year expansion plan at the School of Public Policy, which has added six new faculty members in the past year. In addition, four faculty members who were already affiliated with the school as joint faculty recently moved their tenure homes into SPP. The program has also expanded its graduate enrollment and plans to launch an undergraduate major in 2022.

Review of applications will begin on September 20 and continue until the position is filled. The complete job description is available on the UMass website.

About the School of Public Policy: Established in 2016, the UMass Amherst School of Public Policy prepares students for leadership in public service. The program’s focuses include social change and public policy related to science and technology.
