Job Description

Position description

The Department of Political Science at Southwestern University invites applications for a tenure-track 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.
