Full Text of JOE Listing:
The La Follette School of Public Affairs seeks a faculty member who studies poverty and public policy. The school is open with regards to the specific area and approach to poverty research.

Teaching will involve core graduate and undergraduate courses in public affairs or international public affairs, as well as upper-level electives in poverty and social policy.
