The Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a non-tenure track position as a teaching and advising faculty member. The position is open as to field of Political Science and will involve teaching a mix of larger and smaller undergraduate classes, advising the department’s large number of undergraduate majors, and assisting in the administration of the department’s undergraduate program.

The department expects the appointment to be at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor, but may consider hiring at the rank of Associate Teaching Professor for exceptional candidates with significant experience as college or university instructors.

The position also offers the potential of reappointment and promotion to Associate Teaching Professor (for candidates hired at the Assistant Teaching Professor level) and Full Teaching Professor. Decisions on reappointment and promotion of teaching faculty members are based on demonstrated excellence in teaching, advising, and service.

Successful candidates will have demonstrated excellence in undergraduate teaching and a commitment to teaching and mentoring undergraduate students.

Preference for this position will be given to candidates who already have the Ph.D. However, we will consider candidates who are very near completion of the Ph.D. and provide clear evidence of likely completion by the end of the current academic year.
