Job Description
The Department of Political Science at Wellesley College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the assistant professor level in international relations, beginning in the academic year 2023-24.

We seek candidates with expertise in international organization and global governance, broadly defined. We are open to all areas of specialization in these subfields, but are particularly interested in scholars whose research concerns issues such as international organizations (global and regional), international law, technology, human rights, inequality, race, or LGBTQ+ issues. The search is open as to regional expertise. In addition to teaching courses on global governance, the successful candidate will also regularly teach a broad introduction to international relations. We would additionally be interested in candidates who could offer a research methods course.

Candidates should have a strong commitment to teaching undergraduate students in a liberal arts environment. Faculty members at Wellesley teach two courses per semester.

Applications should include the following:

• A cover letter of no more than two pages;
• A one-page teaching statement;
• Additional teaching materials (e.g., evaluations and sample syllabi);
• Writing samples of research;
• A curriculum vitae; and
• Three (3) letters of recommendation.

Wellesley is dedicated to the goal of building a diverse and inclusive academic community through teaching, research, and service. Familiarity with and experience using pedagogical methods that enable students across racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups to reach their maximum potential is a valuable qualification. Where applicable, candidates should include (as relevant) how diversity, inclusion, and equity connect to their teaching, scholarship, and service.

All materials should be submitted online by visiting our application website at https://www.wellesley.edu/hr/jobseekers. We will begin reviewing applications on October 1, 2020, and will continue accepting applications after that date. If circumstances do not allow you to submit materials through our on-line application system, please email us at working@wellesley.edu. Specific inquiries should be addressed to Prof. Tom Burke, chairperson of the department, at tburke@wellesley.edu.
