> The Department of Political Science at The College of Wooster seeks to fill three tenure-track positions in U.S. National Politics, at the level of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, to begin Fall 2023. We are looking for broadly trained specialists in U.S. National Politics and are open to a wide variety of research and teaching interests, such as U.S. political institutions, political behavior, identity and politics, race and ethnicity, voting rights, constitutional law, civil liberties, and public policy. The department has nine full-time faculty positions in Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and U.S. National Politics. We typically graduate approximately 50 majors annually, many of whom pursue advanced study or careers in public policy, law, research, political campaigns and public service, or a wide variety of social justice and community organizing initiatives. For more information, please see: https://wooster.edu/area/political-science/ <https://wooster.edu/area/political-science/>.

> The College of Wooster is an independent college of the liberal arts and sciences with a commitment to excellence in undergraduate education. We enroll a racially, socioeconomically, and culturally diverse student population of approximately 2,000 undergraduate students, of which 6% identify as Latinx; 9%, as Black/African American; 4%, as Asian; 4%, as multiracial; and 61%, as white. Fifteen percent (15%) of our students are studying on international visas. Twenty-five percent (25%) are Pell-eligible and 11% are first-generation college students. We are interested in hiring faculty who can contribute to the intellectual vibrancy of the community through culturally relevant pedagogy, curricular diversity, intercultural fluency, and a commitment to ensuring equitable outcomes for racially and ethnically minoritized and marginalized student groups.
