We are open to a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds with preferred respective areas included but not limited to the following: critical race, gender, and leadership studies, inclusive leadership, change management, organizational learning and development. In addition, preferred sector areas of practice include health care, mental health, youth leadership, international and national governmental organizations, nonprofit and profit leadership, and education. The successful candidates will join our extraordinary mission-driven interdisciplinary faculty team in the training of emerging scholar-practitioners as active public intellectuals in their sectors and professions.  

The GSLC’s highly successful PhD in Leadership and Change (PhDLC) enters its 22nd year with over 350 alumni and 150 active learners, an 80% graduation rate, and a highly diverse, productive and innovative faculty team and student body. The PhDLC is a forerunner in providing low-residency, cohort-structured, competency-based (not course-based) education that serve experienced practitioners in a wide array of sectors and professions. The program’s outcomes-based hybrid curriculum delivery model blends face-to-face residencies with uniquely designed virtual pedagogies and technologies to support a dynamic, geographically dispersed and networked learning community. Our model addresses the knowledge and capabilities scholars need to conduct bold research that can have positive impacts on leading change for equitable and sustainable futures in organizations and communities around the globe.
