FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CUNY) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Department of School Psychology, Counseling, and Leadership within the School of Education with a starting date in August 2025.

The Brooklyn College School Counseling Program prepares students to serve as culturally competent, caring, and ethically responsible P-12 school counselors within our urban educational region. We strive to prepare our graduates to advocate for every student, so they receive the highest quality education and to promote the development of students??? academic, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing.

With more than 2,700 students, the School of Education, where the School Counseling Program is housed, is one of the largest such schools in New York. We offer both undergraduate and graduate programs in early childhood education/art education; childhood, bilingual, and special education; and secondary education, as well as additional graduate programs in school psychology, counseling, and leadership. Through these programs, we prepare the next generation of teachers, administrators, counselors, and school psychologists to work with New York's highly diverse student populations and to create socially just, intellectually vital, aesthetically rich, and compassionate communities that value equity and excellence, access, and rigor.

Brooklyn College serves students from as many as 150 countries who speak over 100 languages and dialects and thus constitutes a vibrant microcosm of the rich diversity and energy that characterizes the borough of Brooklyn and the greater New York City area itself. Its mission features ???a special commitment to educate immigrant and first-generation college students from the diverse communities that make up our city and state.??? The college ethos is strongly invested in the educational and career success of a population that encompasses a multiplicity of nationalities, ethnicities, religions, cultures and languages. We are committed to fostering a spirit of camaraderie and shared ideals across the entire spectrum of our varied constituency. By accessing a first-class and affordable college education in an inclusive and nurturing intellectual milieu, our students acquire the skills, confidence, and global mindedness that allow them to thrive in a rapidly changing, unpredictable marketplace of ideas that is increasingly mindless of borders and spans the gamut of cultures and vernaculars.

To this end, the college seeks faculty who are eager to engage with the diversity of our student body and have a demonstrated commitment to inclusion and heterogeneity through teaching, research and/or service. We seek to recruit and retain faculty who reflect the mosaic of our student population. Successful candidates will bring their unique creativity, sensitivity, insights and perspectives to a community that welcomes innovation in scholarship and teaching.
