The School of Labor and Employment Relations at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a non-tenure-line faculty appointment.

The position’s responsibilities would also include teaching in the School’s resident instruction or online degree programs.

Appointment would be at the appropriate teaching faculty rank. Teaching faculty members are full members of the School of LER faculty. The position will be a twelve-month appointment and will include a three-year renewable contract. The position will be located at the University Park Campus in State College, PA. The preferred start date is as soon as possible, and no later than January 10, 2022.

The School of Labor and Employment Relations is a multidisciplinary program with large residential and online bachelor’s and master’s degrees, strong research programs, and growing outreach initiatives.

Candidates should have experience working with the labor movement in the design, development, and delivery of education programs, as well as awareness of best practices in labor education. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion within the U.S. labor movement.
