STANFORD UNIVERSITY-GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION 

Faculty Position in early literacy, with emphasis on elementary English language arts (Open Rank) 

The Stanford Graduate School of Education is seeking nominations and applications for a faculty member specializing in early literacy. 

Successful candidates must demonstrate substantial evidence of a creative and productive program of research, impact on his or her field of study (or if junior, the potential for such impact), and a commitment to excellence in teaching and advising students at both graduate and undergraduate levels. The applicant should have prior experience teaching and/or working with teachers at the elementary level in classrooms with ethnically, linguistically, or socioeconomically diverse student populations. 

As a faculty member, responsibilities will include teaching graduate level and possibly undergraduate level courses for both prospective researchers and elementary teacher candidates. The faculty member will support doctoral students and doctoral research in related fields. 

Senior candidates should have an excellent record of research and teaching. Junior candidates should have completed a doctorate before the date of appointment and show evidence of excellent research and teaching potential. 

Applicants should provide a cover letter which describes research and teaching experience, a curriculum vitae, two examples of published, in press, or not yet published research, and a list of three references (complete with addresses and phone numbers). We will request letters of recommendation to be sent directly to Stanford for a small number of finalists. Applications will be reviewed beginning on September 15, 2015 and the position will remain open until it is filled. 

All application materials must be submitted online. Please submit your application on Academic Jobs Online:
