Open Field

The Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University is recruiting for two tenure-track and one tenured positions that are open with respect to subfield. We welcome applications from clusters of scholars who would find it attractive to join our faculty together. Successful candidates will be expected to carry out a vigorous program of research and actively contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching. Strong research and teaching interests that cut across traditional subfields of political science would be highly valued. Ph.D. required. The starting date for these positions is Fall 2018. 

The department offers Ph.D., MA, BA, and BS degrees and has 37 tenured/tenure track faculty members, 50 graduate students, and approximately 1000 undergraduate majors. Further information about the department is available at http://pols.tamu.edu. Texas A&M is a research-intensive flagship university with more than 60,000 students including 10,000 graduate students making it the sixth largest university in the United States. The student body includes 26% African American, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaskan Native students, as well as approximately 5,000 international students from 130 countries. We seek candidates who can teach effectively in a diverse and global classroom. Texas A&M ranks among the top universities nationally in total research expenditures (with more that $800 million dollars per year). Texas A&M University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer that is deeply committed to enhancing the diversity and excellence of its faculty and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.

Applicants should send a letter of interest (referencing research agenda and teaching interests), a curriculum vitae, a writing sample, and, for un-tenured applicants, three letters of reference, graduate school transcripts, and any available teaching evaluations. All materials should be submitted electronically to Professor William Roberts Clark, Head, Department of Political Science at poliscijobs@tamu.edu. Our review of applications will begin on September 18, 2017 and will continue until the positions are filled. Salary is competitive and will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
