Bucknell University's Department of Political Science invites applications for a tenure-track position in American Politics beginning in Fall, 2024. We expect to hire at the Assistant Professor level but are open to considering outstanding candidates at other ranks. We seek candidates whose scholarly and teaching interests include race and ethnic politics in the U.S. The successful candidate will be prepared to teach a core course in American politics, a course in race and ethnic politics, a course in quantitative or qualitative research methods, and other American politics courses in the candidate's areas of specialization.

We welcome candidates who demonstrate excellence in reflective multicultural and inclusive teaching practices and who display a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity. Evidence of teaching excellence as well as the promise of being a productive scholar are critically important. The teaching load is five courses over two semesters. By the start date of the position, candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in Political Science with a sub-field specialization in American politics, but ABD candidates will also be considered with the understanding that the Ph.D. must be completed before the beginning of the second year.
