Increasing the diversity of our educators to better reflect the population of California is just one aspect of the School of Education's dedication to just, equitable and inclusive education. Diversity refers to the variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. Such differences include race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic region, and more.All School of Education students leave with a perspective that recognizes, honors, and respects the knowledge and strengths all learners bring from their communities and identities. School of Education students use this perspective to make community-based assets an integral component of curricular and pedagogical development to enhance academic success. In this way, our students learn to value and draw upon students' backgrounds not only to support them in developing skills leading to success in the broader society, but also as a mechanism to transform our schools and communities. We believe that all faculty and staff who work for the SOE must share these same commitments.Click here to learn more about CI's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion: https://www.csuci.edu/academics/facultyaffairs/diversity/index.htm Finalists willbe required to provide at least five references with knowledge of the candidate's teaching, counseling, scholarship, and service.Please direct all questions about the position to: Dr. Charles Weis, Committee Chairperson, at ****** .In later phases of the search process, applicants may be requested to provide verification of terminal degrees, licenses and certificates.Submit all required materials to the CSUCI Careers application web address below:http://jobs.csuci.eduCompensation:California State University Tenure Track (Academic Year) Salary Schedules can be found atAssistant ProfessorAssociate ProfessorProfessorStarting salaries at CSU Channel Islands are equity-minded and are generally at the lower half of the salary range.The University offers excellent fringe benefits.General Information:Evidence of degree(s) required at time of hire.At time of appointment, the successful candidate, if not a U.S. citizen, must have authorization from the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services to work in the United States.The person holding this position may be considered a 'mandated reporter' under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and is required to comply with the requirements set forth inCSU Executive Order 1083as a condition of employment.A background check (including a criminal records check) must be completed satisfactorily before any candidate can be offered a position with the CSU.
