The Department of Public Administration and Policy, housed within the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, is seeking to hire a tenure-track assistant professor in nonprofit management and nonprofit policy, starting Fall 2023.

We welcome applications from candidates engaged in high-quality nonprofit management and policy research.
