Position description
The School of Public Policy at UCR is seeking to hire up to two
Assistant and/or Associate Professors of Public Policy. We are open
to the area of public policy scholarship. Competitive candidates
are expected to have produced research that: (a) prospectively or
retrospectively assesses the impact of specific public policies on
humans, the built environment, and/or the natural world; (b)
studies how policy is created and implemented and how organizations
and implementers operate; (c) evaluates how and when advocacy for
policy change is successful; (d) proposes or evaluates reforms to
political processes that might improve (or hinder) policy outcomes;
and/or (e) develops analytical methods for policy research. The
School of Public Policy values public policies that promote
efficiency, equity, prosperity, and justice; we are particularly
interested in scholars who apply these principles in their research
and teaching.
(Note: this search is in addition to a search we posted in July
that seeks "scholars who can conduct research and teaching on the
politics of the policy process". If you are also interested in
being considered for the "politics of the policy process" search,
please additionally respond to that search advertisement.)
Applicants must have an earned doctorate by the time of appointment
in a relevant field and demonstrated excellence in research and
teaching. As these experiences may be helpful in the production of
policy research and/or teaching public policy students, the
following will be considered a positive (but not necessary)
applicant characteristic: (a) having a bachelor's degree, master's
degree, or PhD in public policy, public affairs, or public
administration; and/or (b) work experience in government agencies,
legislative offices, policy think tanks and consulting firms, or
political advocacy organizations. Instructional and mentoring
activities include teaching four, 10-week courses per academic year
and guiding the research of undergraduate and graduate
students.
The School of Public Policy values diversity among its faculty and
strongly encourages applications from women and members of
underrepresented groups.
The Assistant and Associate Professor Series are full-time
positions with the rights and responsibilities of membership in the
Academic Senate. Assistant Professor appointments and
reappointments are limited to a maximum term of two years. The
total University service with this title may not exceed eight years
except as provided in APM - 133-12-b and 133-12-c
https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/apm/apm-133.pdf.
Associate Professor appointments are tenured appointments.
Advancement through the faculty and non-senate academic ranks at
the University of California is through a series of structured,
merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3 years, each of which
includes substantial peer input. Teaching, scholarly professional
achievement, and activities, and university and public service
constitute the criteria for advancement.
All materials must be uploaded using UCR's on-line application
system via https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01987. To ensure full
consideration, complete applications including cover letter, CV,
writing samples, a research statement, a teaching statement,
evidence of teaching excellence, statement of past and/or planned
future contributions to advancing diversity and inclusive
excellence should be received by October 31, 2024. Additionally,
applicants at the Assistant level should submit three letters of
reference while applicants at the Associate level should include
information for at least 6 people who can be contacted for letters
of recommendation (extramural letters will be solicited by the
University for the top candidate). Review of applicants will
continue until the position is filled. The appointment will
commence as early as July 1, 2025, or as late as September 1, 2025,
per negotiation with the candidate.
The posted UC salary scales,

See Table 1

to $121,600 for Associate Professors. "Off-scale salaries" and
other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than the
