In support of the campus mission, strategic plans and values, Queens College, CUNY seeks to fill the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor of Early Childhood Education in the Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education.  Primary responsibilities are research, teaching, and student advisement.  

All programs in EECE demonstrate a commitment to Ethics, Excellence, and Equity, the Core Values of the Division of Education.  Faculty are expected to prepare students to be teachers and community educators who respect all families, honor linguistic and cultural diversity, hold high expectations of all learners, and are proficient in the academic and technological standards of the profession. 

Often referred to as “the jewel of the CUNY system,” Queens College is a place of contrasts: An urban school in a suburban setting, where a large and diverse student body receives personalized attention.  This formula has made us one of New York’s premier educational institutions. 

With a mission to prepare students to become leading citizens of an increasingly global society, we offer a rigorous education in the liberal arts and sciences under the guidance of a faculty dedicated to both teaching and research.  Our liberal arts, science, and pre-professional programs earn us high rankings in prestigious college guides such as The Princeton Review America’s Best Value Colleges.  Our students graduate with the ability to think critically, address complex problems, explore various cultures, use modern technologies and information resources, and have won prominence in nearly every field.

QUALIFICATIONS
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in early childhood education.  Ideal candidates will possess expertise in a dedicated area related to the education of children between birth and 2nd grade.  A background in infant and toddler development, care, and education is a plus, but not required.  Candidates should supply evidence of an active research agenda, scholarly productivity, and other professional achievements relative to rank and experience.  Evidence of success as a teacher educator at the college or university level is a must.  Prior classroom teaching at the early childhood level is preferred.

COMPENSATION
CUNY offers faculty a competitive compensation and benefits package covering health insurance, pension and retirement benefits, paid parental leave, and savings programs.  We also provide mentoring and support for research, scholarship, and publication as part of our commitment to ongoing faculty professional development.
