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
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 references who may be contacted by the hiring committee.
For additional information, contact Department Administrator Molly Bendzick, mollyb@umn.edu.
