Peabody College of Vanderbilt University: Faculty Position in Human and 
Organizational Development (HOD). Beginning in the spring or fall of 
2008, we expect to fill a tenure-track position (rank open) in community 
studies and/or community development. We are particularly interested in 
persons with active research programs of theoretically informed 
scholarship in community studies/community development focused on 
neighborhood change, community health or urban governance with a track 
record of external funding. We seek scholars who have policy, program, 
project design or evaluation experience, and who will provide leadership 
to the HOD program. We are open to community scholars from a broad set 
of disciplines, we currently draw upon the fields of community 
psychology, urban geography, applied anthropology, urban and rural 
community development, public health, sociology and economics. We are 
especially interested in strong candidates with programs of research 
that address issues related to race, class, gender, sexuality, and/or 
disparities. We are committed to broadening the multidisciplinary 
foundation of our program and to building intercultural, participatory 
action-research partnerships with communities and organizations 
internationally. Successful candidates will be expected to teach and 
advise at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. In addition to the 
HOD program, the largest undergraduate major at Vanderbilt University, 
we offer the master’s degree in Community Development Action, the 
master’s in Human Development Counseling, and the doctorate in Community 
Research and Action. Review of applications will begin on November 1,
