The Department of Political Science at Christendom College seeks to hire an Assistant Professor for a full-time position starting 15 August 2024. The candidate must hold a Ph.D. in political science. We will also consider applications from highly qualified ABD candidates whose progress to degree completion is far advanced. This is an entry-level position.
The successful candidate will be enthusiastically committed to undergraduate education and will teach a 4/4 load of courses, including the department’s two core courses, Introduction to Political Theory and Catholic Social Doctrine, as well as upper-level electives in his/her field of specialization. The subfield within political science is open, but we encourage applications from candidates who specialize in the history of political thought, American political thought, or contemporary Catholic political thought. The ability to teach some undergraduate courses in international relations would be an advantage. The successful candidate will integrate teaching excellence with professional scholarly engagement and service to the institution. Ability to mentor students, including those applying to graduate school, is an advantage.
