The Department of Political Science at Wellesley College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the assistant or associate professor level in international relations, beginning in the academic year 2023-2024.

We seek candidates with expertise in international/global political economy. We are open to all areas of specialization in these subfields, but are particularly interested in scholars whose research concerns issues such as trade, finance, global development, international economic organizations (global and regional), inequality, or race. The search is open as to regional expertise. In addition to courses in international political economy, the successful candidate will also regularly teach a broad introduction to international relations. We would also be interested in candidates who could offer a research methods course.

Candidates should have a strong commitment to teaching undergraduate students in a liberal arts environment. Faculty members at Wellesley teach two courses per semester.

Applications should include the following:

• A cover letter of no more than two pages;

• A one-page teaching statement;

• Additional teaching materials (e.g., evaluations and sample syllabi);

• Writing samples of research;

• A curriculum vitae; and

• Three (3) letters of recommendation.

Wellesley is dedicated to the goal of building a diverse and inclusive academic community through teaching, research, and service. Familiarity with and experience using pedagogical methods that enable students across racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups to reach their maximum potential is a valuable qualification. Where applicable, candidates should include (as relevant) how diversity, inclusion, and equity connect to their teaching, scholarship, and service.
