The department offers a well-regarded Master's in Educational Leadership in Higher Education & Student Affairs, a Ph.D. in Leadership, a Graduate Certificate in Academic Advising, and an interdisciplinary undergraduate LEADership minor. Graduates work in an array of positions in Higher Education that promote the intellectual, social, emotional, and personal development of college students and enhance their educational and campus experiences. This program is committed to preparing student affairs professionals who can serve as advocates and practitioner scholars.

Our mission as a HESA Program is to foster student affairs professionals who intentionally create inclusive spaces of responsiveness, respect, and appreciation for all forms of diversity, developing culturally sustaining practices in the service of promoting wellness, reflection, and action related to identity development and social justice.

Responsibilities
  • Teach and advise graduate students in the Master's program in HESA, and the Graduate Certificate in Academic Advising.
  • Help develop a certificate in Case Management in student affairs and/or Coaching.
  • Develop innovative courses, certifications, and credentials to enhance the program.
  • Supervise and engage in dissertation research and teach doctoral-level courses.
  • Engage in scholarship and professional, community, and university service activities.

Minimum Qualifications

At a minimum, candidates will have earned a doctorate degree by August 2023 in Higher Education Administration, Student Affairs, or College Student Personnel. We are looking for faculty who are proficient and are open to a leadership role in the program. Candidates should have experience in student affairs practice, value inclusive practices in teaching, with a demonstrated commitment to social justice and preparing student affairs professionals from marginalized populations. Candidates should have an established research agenda and interest in equity and inclusion. In addition, candidates must identify with the student affairs profession, as evidenced by professional memberships, leadership activities, and community engagement.

Preferred Qualifications

Candidate qualifications of interest include experience in Higher Education settings, expertise in aspects such as systems, organizational theory, finance, administration, sociopolitical perspectives, community engagement, program assessment and evaluation, counseling, and coaching in student affairs. Strong interest in recruitment, retention, and respect for first-generation and non-traditional students and their assets and funds of knowledge; expertise with community colleges; affinity groups; resource centers; and working with internships are welcomed.

A competitive salary will be based on qualifications and prior experiences with a tenure-track appointment at the assistant rank. Eastern Michigan University will consider up to two years of credit for service at another institution. This is an eight-month appointment with summer employment contingent on departmental needs. The starting date should be no later than August 22, 2023.
