[Air-l] CPAP position/s: the impact of globalization and information technology on governance

[jeremy hunsinger]

  The School of Public and International Affairs seeks to fill two or 
three tenure-track positions affiliated with the Center for Public 
Administration and Policy (CPAP) at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, 
Virginia. The School includes CPAP, Urban Affairs and Planning (UAP), 
and Government and International Affairs. CPAP, UAP, and GIA offer 
Master's programs in Blacksburg and Alexandria, Virginia (just outside 
of Washington, D.C.). CPAP and UAP offer Ph.D. programs in Blacksburg 
and Alexandria. CPAP also offers its Master of Public Administration 
degree in Richmond, the state capital.

  These positions are intended to help place the new school at the 
forefront of major shifts in patterns of governance, democratic action, 
and accountability. Emphases include collaboration across sectors to 
deliver public services; exploration of the character of equity and 
justice in a diverse society; study of the disparate impacts of ongoing 
globalization; and improved measures of financial and social 
accountability and their implications for public administration and 
public policy implementation. The School seeks strong candidates for 
one position to include an emphasis in budgeting and financial 
administration and for the other one or two positions to include some 
combination of teaching and research interests in the following: public 
management, including human resources; public policy and policy 
analysis; methods; public administration history and theory; 
collaborative governance; nonprofit management; and the impact of 
globalization and information technology on governance. The positions 
are subject to available funding and are at the assistant professor 
level.

Both CPAP and UAP have nationally ranked Master's programs and highly 
regarded Ph.D. programs. The school's funded research for 2003-04 
exceeded five million dollars channeled through centers of basic and 
applied research with foci in housing, social services, health, policy 
outreach and research, innovative governance, and metropolitan studies.

The successful candidates will be located in Blacksburg, Virginia with 
expectations for some teaching in Alexandria and Richmond. Candidates 
should be prepared to 1) contribute to CPAP and SPIA efforts to address 
the new challenges of governance; 2) teach a share of the specific 
courses within the CPAP curriculum for doctoral and master's students, 
including those necessary for NASPAA accreditation; 3) teach 
occasionally in any of the three CPAP locations; 4) serve as chair or 
committee member on doctoral dissertations in CPAP and SPIA; and 5) 
participate in or develop sponsored research projects that would serve 
or complement the aims of the School's research institutes.
