Description:

The University of Notre Dame's Department of Political Science and the Keough School of Global Affairs are searching for one or more faculty members who specialize in the study of democracy. We expect the appointment to be at the level of Full Professor, but we will consider applications from advanced Associate Professors. We define the study of democracy broadly, as research on political regimes and regime change, challenges to democratic institutions, and political behavior. We have a preference for applicants with a research agenda in comparative politics, though we are open to researchers whose studies include the United States as a case. Successful candidates will also be capable of excellent teaching and mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Position duties include research, teaching, and service.

Qualifications:

A PhD is required in political science, any subfield of political science, other social science disciplines, or related fields. This search is conducted under the auspices of the Notre Dame Democracy Initiative, a significant investment from the Provost's office that will provide multiple faculty lines and substantial research support. To apply, visit https://apply.interfolio.com/172986 This appointment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check. Applicants will be asked to identify all felony convictions and/or pending felony charges. Felony convictions do not automatically bar an individual from employment. Each case will be examined separately to determine the appropriateness of employment in the particular position. Failure to be forthcoming or dishonesty with respect to felony disclosures can result in the disqualification of a candidate. The full procedure can be viewed at https://facultyhandbook.nd.edu/?id=link-73597 .
