Nov 27, 2017

The Department of Politics and The Van Andel Graduate School at Hillsdale College invite application for a tenure-track faculty position (rank open), beginning August, 2018. The Department’s needs are greatest in Classical Political Philosophy, so candidates with a credible record of teaching and scholarly work in that area will receive strongest consideration. Candidates with an additional specialty in International Relations, Comparative Politics, or American Foreign Policy will be prioritized. Applicants should be aware that their teaching responsibilities will range from an introductory core course for freshmen and sophomores to graduate level classes. Since the Department services a graduate program, applicants will need to have a record of scholarly publication, and should have a Ph.D. in hand.


Hillsdale College is a small (1400 students) independent college of liberal arts, dedicated to excellence in teaching and advising students. Applicants should familiarize themselves with the College’s mission statement: https://www.hillsdale.edu/about/mission/. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.


Complete applications will include: (a) letter of application; (b) curriculum vitae; (c) transcripts; (d) three up-to-date letters of recommendation, (e) a statement of teaching and research interests; (f) samples of publications or other scholarly manuscripts. Within the statement of teaching and research interests there should be a detailed response to the College’s mission statement that includes a discussion of the applicant’s ability to teach in light of its commitments. For further information on the undergraduate and graduate programs, visit www.hillsdale.edu and gradschool.hillsdale.edu.


Review of applications will begin on January 15th and continue until the position is filled. Send all application materials by email or regular mail to Dr. Ronald J. Pestritto, Graduate Dean and Professor of Politics, Hillsdale College, 33 E. College Street, Hillsdale, MI 49242. Email submissions may be sent to PoliticsSearch@hillsdale.edu. Salary competitive.
