The Department of Political Science at Purdue is searching for two assistant professor positions in International Relations.

The person holding this position is expected to develop and maintain a research record of excellence in international relations with a focus on security, cooperation, global governance, or foreign policy, broadly defined, and that connects, in some way, to one or both of the following broad college themes: Science, Technology, and Policy Analysis, and/or Technology, Communication, and Cooperation. In addition, the person holding this position will create and disseminate relevant knowledge through student instruction, and to others internal and external to the university. Strong commitment to PhD student mentoring and to maintaining a culture of diversity and inclusion is expected. 

These positions are two of seven hires this year in the Department of Political Science.

In addition to the major and the PhD, the Department is home to graduate and undergraduate certificates and minors in environmental politics and policy, public policy, and human rights.
