Description
Tenure Track Assistant Professor in International Relations, Political Science
The Department of Political Science at Colgate University invites applications for a tenure-stream position in International Relations at the rank of Assistant Professor. The appointment will begin in the fall of 2027. We seek scholars who focus on human security. We especially welcome expertise in areas such as gender; technology/AI; climate change; global public health; human rights; and/or other transnational challenges. The department is open to a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to address these topics. Completion of PhD is required before, or shortly after, the date of hire.
The successful candidate should be able to teach introductory courses in International Relations as well as more advanced courses in the candidate's areas of interest. Candidates will be expected to contribute to university-wide programs including the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum. Candidates may also contribute to one or more of Colgate's many Institutes and Centers. The teaching load is five courses (or their equivalent) over two semesters.
Please submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching excellence (e.g., statement of teaching philosophy and student evaluations of teaching), a writing sample (30 pages single-spaced or 60 pages double-spaced), and three letters of recommendation.
To ensure consideration of your application by the search committee, please submit your application materials through https://apply.interfolio.com/188692 by 21 September 2026.
Colgate strives to be a community supportive of diverse perspectives and identities. All applications should speak directly, particularly in the cover letter, to how the candidate's approach to teaching might create an inclusive educational environment.
Colgate University is a leading liberal arts university of 3200 students situated in central New York state. Applicants with dual-career considerations can find postings of other employment opportunities at Colgate and at other institutions of higher education in upstate New York at this website.
