POSITION SUMMARY

The Department of Education at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies (Ed&IS) is dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and service, with a steadfast commitment to advancing educational equity and social justice. We are committed to advancing educational research, practice, and policy to foster equity, diversity, and inclusion in education. By preparing future educators, researchers, and leaders and conducting cutting-edge research, we strive to create positive change and address the complex challenges facing education locally, nationally, and globally for the betterment of society.
