RANK AND DISCIPLINE

QUALIFICATIONS

The political science department at Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, University at Albany, SUNY, is seeking a new tenure-track colleague in comparative politics.  Rank:  assistant professor.  Specialization is open, though applications are especially encouraged from scholars with expertise in one of the following areas:  comparative security policy; comparative development/political economy; comparative legal and constitutional regimes (particularly the relationships among security issues, civil liberties, and human rights); or the impact of new information technology and media on the behavior of state and non-state actors.  A geographical focus on Latin America, the Muslim World, South Asia, or Africa would be a positive factor in the application.

Located in a major governmental center, Rockefeller College is ranked among the top ten schools of public affairs in the nation. The political science department has 23 full-time members and offers degrees at the bachelors, masters, and doctoral level. This position is part of a university-level commitment to make Rockefeller College a major center for research and graduate and undergraduate education in global affairs.  Current plans call for hiring several new colleagues over the next five years in comparative politics and international relations.  Teaching load is two courses per semester.  Salary and benefits are competitive.

PhD (from a college or university accredited by a USDOE or internationally recognized accrediting organization) by starting date is preferred, but advanced ABDs will be considered.  Candidates should have demonstrated the ability to work with and instruct culturally diverse groups of people.  Applicants should submit a statement of interest, curriculum vita, a writing sample or publications, and any available evidence of teaching (such as syllabi and student evaluations).  Candidates should also arrange to have a full dossier (including graduate transcript and at least three letters of reference with contact information.)  Direct email inquiries to rkoslowski@uamail.albany.edu.
