Job description |
Arizona State University invites applications for a Director of the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership (SCETL). The successful candidate will also be named the Lincoln Professor in Leadership and American Civic Ideals. In this role, you will lead a multidisciplinary community of scholars and students who pursue collaborative and innovative approaches for teaching and scholarship, grounded in a classical liberal arts education resonating with the principles of America’s founders. This is an opportunity for an accomplished and creative leader with the experience to develop and implement a strategic vision for a growing academic unit at an AAU University. ASU’s charter and goals prioritize student success, public engagement, and use-inspired as well as scholarly research. Reporting to the Dean of The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Director will foster growth and innovation in the School’s research and teaching missions, working to attract, develop, and retain exceptional faculty members. Key goals also include promoting excellence in the school’s undergraduate and graduate programs; developing interdisciplinary research and teaching initiatives; advancing entrepreneurial opportunities; enhancing relations with partners and public within and beyond the university community; and contributing to a university-wide culture that fosters intellectual inclusive excellence. These goals reflect the design aspirations of the “New American University” that infuse decision-making across ASU’s in-person and online operations, currently serving over 170,000 students. SCETL is an academic unit reporting to the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and sits administratively in The College’s division of Social Sciences. It has an annual operating budget of $5.8 million. The School has 13 tenured/tenure-track faculty, two professors of practice, three teaching and clinical professors, as well as 16 staff members. The School offers bachelor’s degrees in Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership, a master’s degree in Liberal Education and Leadership and a certificate in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. These degree programs are anchored within four fundamental tracks in the School: moral and political thought; American political thought; economic thought and political economy; and leadership and statesmanship for the 21st Century. More information on the degree programs is available at: https://scetl.asu.edu/degree-programs. Current enrollments include 11 MA students, approximately 65 undergraduate majors and 1000 students enrolled in SCETL’s courses for Fall 2023. The Social Sciences at ASU are ranked third nationally in recent National Science Foundation HERD rankings. The School hosts two vibrant centers, the Center for the Study of Economic Liberty and the Center for Political Thought and Leadership; the latter focuses on civic outreach to the broader Arizona and American communities. The School also hosts one of the most robust public lecture series in the country. The College and University value our cultural and intellectual diversity among students, faculty and staff, and continually strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment.
