The IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy (LFSOP, located at IUPUI) seeks an intellectual leader to advance knowledge of community philanthropy by filling the CS Mott Chair in Community Foundations. This endowed chair will be active in the area of Community Philanthropy, especially the role of community foundations in helping build communities and civil society locally, nationally, and globally. The search process will begin in fall 2016 and continue until the chair is appointed. Ideally, the chair will begin the appointment by fall 2017. The search is open to rank and the field of appointment will be Philanthropic Studies.
Candidates are expected to teach and mentor students in the graduate and undergraduate programs for 50% of their time. In addition, they will conduct research, publish in the field, and provide service to the School, campus, and the field for the other 50% time commitment. A Ph.D. and significant relevant work in this field is required. Teaching and research experience in philanthropic studies (broadly defined) or related area of interest is strongly preferred. The chair will work with an advisory committee comprised of academics and practitioners, who are leaders in this field, to help develop a research and teaching agenda for the chair’s work in this space.
IUPUI is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution M/F/D. The IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy has endorsed efforts to increase the diversity of its ranks, and accordingly, candidates from under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.

The review of applications will begin during the fall semester of 2016 and the search will remain open until the position is filled. For best consideration apply before October 15, 2016.
