Application Instructions
All faculty members contribute to the department’s and Peabody’s reputation as a place where high standards of theory, research, practice and policy are the norm. In our teacher education program, we have the opportunity to think critically about how our teaching practice influences the pre-service teachers with whom we work, and ultimately the learning of their students. Department faculty members collaborate with school partners in Metro Nashville Public Schools, as well as suburban and rural surrounding counties and elsewhere in the U.S. Partner schools provide varied settings for teacher development and educational research.
Applications will be reviewed beginning November 15, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit: 1) a letter of interest that addresses their program of research, including a description of external funding, teaching experiences, and commitments to equitable and inclusive teacher education; 2) three publications (or manuscripts in progress); 3) a current vita, and 4) the names and contact information for three scholars who will write letters of recommendation. The committee will request letters of recommendation from a small group of finalists. Please apply at the following link:
