Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the responsibilities and qualifications of social studies education faculty positions as listed in The Chronicle of Higher Education during the 2004–2005 academic year. Many of the listings conveyed expectations for social studies educators to teach undergraduate courses, supervise interns, write grants and publications, and use educational technology. Fifty-one of the listed positions were at institutions designated as the doctoral granting and master's colleges and universities levels of the Carnegie rankings for higher education.
