About the Job
Position Overview
The Department of
Curriculum and Instruction, College of Education and Human Development, University of Minnesota, invites nominations and applications for a
Lecturer in PK-12 Arts Teacher Education. The Arts in Education program includes MEd Initial Licensure and MEd Professional Studies
programs, an MA degree program, and a PhD track. Tenure-Track Faculty, Lecturers, Teaching Specialists, Community Faculty, and Graduate
Students teach and/or advise students in the areas of dance, theatre, and visual and media arts.
The successful candidate in this
position will co-lead a vibrant team committed to imagining equity-minded PK-12 arts education (undergraduate- and graduate-level coursework
and MEd Initial Licensure and Professional Studies programs). This means that the successful candidate will possess an explicit commitment
to equity, access, and diversity matters related to markers of difference including, but not limited to race, social class, gender and
gender identity, language, and sexuality.
The faculty and graduate students in the Arts in Education program are interested in
researching and teaching political and social ideas, issues, and concerns in the curriculum, contexts, and pedagogies of arts and design
education.
As scholars and teachers, we explore these ideas, issues, and concerns in and across teacher education, curriculum
studies, and arts content areas. The Arts in Education program provides critical and forward-thinking preparation for those interested in
exploring education broadly conceived, those interested in becoming PK-12 Dance, Theatre, and/or Visual Arts teachers, and those interested
in assuming positions as scholars, researchers, or educational policy-makers-with a strong philosophical, theoretical, research-based, and
practical understanding of the dynamic interplay among equity, diversity, access, pedagogy, and curriculum.
This is a full-time,
9-month, non-tenure-track position in a highly regarded college of a major urban research university. Located in the culturally diverse
cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the University of Minnesota offers unique opportunities for research and participation in varied
cultural communities. Additional information about the college and department can be found at https://www.cehd.umn.edu/
The individual hired will be appointed to a full-time, 9-month,
annually-renewable position as a Lecturer in Arts in Education during academic year 2024-2025. This position will begin with the 2024-2025
academic year, with a start date of August 26, 2024. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. The successful candidate will
be appointed for a 1-year term. Continuation of this appointment beyond May 25, 2025, is contingent on satisfactory performance and
continuing availability of resources.
This position will remain open until filled. To receive fullest consideration, applications
should be submitted by January 19, 2024, when the search committee will begin its deliberations. Completed applications will consist of an
application letter addressing qualifications, a curriculum vita, a teaching statement, and the names and contact information of three
