Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | Singapore |
Position: | Full Professor, Tenure Track Faculty |
The newly established Yale-NUS College (www.yale-nus.edu.sg) in Singapore, a collaboration between the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Yale University, seeks to hire three or more political scientists working on global affairs, especially those who study Asia in comparative perspective. We are particularly interested in candidates who work in the following areas: comparative politics, including political institutions, political parties, and elections; and security, broadly defined to include such issues as human security, gender, inequality, and migration in addition to traditional issues of international security. This search is open with regard to rank. We are especially interested in candidates who combine an active research agenda with interest in a collegiate liberal arts environment and a demonstrated commitment to creative and effective undergraduate teaching and mentoring.
In addition, the College seeks to hire two distinguished senior scholars to serve as the inaugural JY Pillay-Global Asia Professors of Social Science. We encourage applicants in any area of the Social Sciences including areas that can serve our majors in Global Affairs/Political Science, Economics, Psychology, Anthropology, Urban Studies, Environmental Studies, and Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Within these broad areas, we are open to sub-specialty.
Yale-NUS College seeks outstanding teacher-scholars, who are committed to innovative pedagogy and curriculum development, who are active researchers, and who enjoy closely mentoring students. Regardless of their field of specialization, candidates should be enthusiastic about contributing to an interdisciplinary common curriculum in the liberal arts.
Salary, benefits, and leave policies will be competitive at an international level. The College expects further rounds of hiring over the next few years as the student body increases. Yale-NUS College is committed to supporting faculty research through generous startup grants, annual research and travel budgets, and sabbatical leave.
