Assistant Professor of Democracy Studies
Location: Notre Dame, IN
Open Date:
Aug 17, 2023
Deadline: Oct 31, 2023 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time
Description:
The University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs invites applicants for a tenure-track position of assistant professor working on the study of democracy and democratic backsliding. The ideal candidate will have a comparative research agenda focused on questions of democratic erosion, democratic resilience, and strategies to protect democracy. The position is funded by the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, as part of Notre Dame's new Democracy Initiative.
The search is open in terms of methodological perspectives and geographic area focus, but competitive candidates are expected to possess strong empirical skills (with a preference for mixed methods) and to be conversant across research traditions, theoretical perspectives, and geographic regions. Successful candidates must provide evidence of high-quality research, as well as an interest to engage global policy debates about the future of democracy.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop novel analytic perspectives in the study of democracy and regime change to inform his or her research, teaching, and service. The position will be based in the Keough School (https://keough.nd.edu/), which advances integral human development through research, policy and practice, transformative educational programs, and partnerships for global engagement. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research agendas inspire lessons for democratic practitioners. The candidate will interact with colleagues in Political Science, Sociology, and related fields. The Keough School is open to the possibility of a joint appointment with a disciplinary department.
The Keough School is committed to fostering a culture of diverse views and approaches to Global Affairs. All applicants whose scholarly pursuits will enhance our ability to fulfill that commitment are encouraged to apply.
