Philosophy, Politics and Economics Full-time Lecturer in Political Science

The Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) Program at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for the position of a full-time Lecturer, beginning Fall 2018. The appointment will be for an initial year with the possibility of annual renewal for up to an additional two years, contingent upon satisfactory performance review and approval by the Dean.
 
PPE seeks a political scientist to teach three advanced interdisciplinary courses and one small research seminar for a total load of two courses each semester. These courses will be taught to juniors and seniors in the major providing an interdisciplinary experience in a small classroom setting to bring together what they’ve learned. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach either globally-focused courses or policy-focused courses. A behavioral or experimental research background is a plus. You can find out more about Penn’s PPE program on our website: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/ppe/. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field by the start date.
