The positions are unique in that the successful candidates will primarily support the EdD Program through supervision of dissertation research with limited teaching assignments.  We are seeking applicants with a strong commitment to and demonstrated expertise and experience in equity and social justice in leadership in educational environments.

The Drexel School of Education faculty are an exceptionally collaborative group who promote and demonstrate a high tech, high touch approach with students.

    The Drexel EdD in Educational Leadership and Management program was honored to receive the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate's Program of the Year Award in 2019. The program was launched as a hybrid program in AY 2009–10, and as an online program in AY 2013–14. In both formats, it is a part-time, accelerated doctoral program specifically designed for working professionals who seek to develop the advanced knowledge, skills, and dispositions to solve problems of practice and lead change at the individual, group, and organizational levels. The curriculum focuses on sustainable leadership; systems inquiry; equity and social justice; and research in practice. EdD students specialize in one of ten concentration areas: Creativity and Innovation; Educational Administration (with Letter of Eligibility); Education Policy; Global and International Education; Higher Education Leadership; Human Resource Development; Learning Technology; Nursing Education; Special Education Leadership (with Certificate); and Sport Leadership. Our graduates become leaders and innovators in the areas of instruction, administration, learning, and strategy within many kinds of organizations including public and private schools, post-secondary institutions, government agencies, non-profit organizations and foundations, and corporations.
