The Department of Political Science at Southwestern University invites
applications for an assistant professor in Comparative Politics and
International Relations beginning in August of 2026. We are open to a wide
range of specializations within Comparative Politics and International
Relations, but are especially interested in applicants whose teaching and
research interests can complement existing departmental strengths in
racial/ethnic politics, gender and politics, and East Asia.

The successful candidate will contribute to the Political Science program
by teaching five courses per academic year. These courses will include an
“Introduction to Comparative Politics” course, a core introductory class in
our Political Science major, and an introductory course in International
Politics. Elective courses within the areas of the candidate’s
specialization will also be part of their eventual course rotation. Faculty
at Southwestern are also expected to participate in university governance,
departmental collaboration, and academic advising.

Qualifications include a PhD in Political Science, International Relations,
or a related discipline from an accredited institution. Advanced ABD
candidates from an accredited university may also be considered.

Candidates are asked to submit the following materials:

   - a letter of interest
   - a CV
   - two relevant sample syllabi
   - a statement of teaching philosophy
   - a statement regarding research interests
   - three letters of recommendation

Candidates are encouraged to include examples of how they foster equity in
the classroom throughout their materials.

All materials must be uploaded to Interfolio at
https://apply.interfolio.com/169531; no materials will be accepted in hard
copy or via email. Review of applications will begin on September 22, 2025.
We will be speaking with interested candidates at the APSA Annual Meeting;
to set up an appointment or ask questions about this position, please
contact Zoe Moss (mossz at southwestern.edu).

Starting annual salary for 9-month position: $65,000. The final offer for
the successful candidate will be commensurate with experience and may
exceed this figure. Teaching in Southwestern University summer school
provides faculty with an opportunity to supplement their income during the
summer months.
