What are the responsibilities and job description for the Professor position at University of Notre Dame?
The University of Notre Dame’s Department of Political Science and the Keough School of Global Affairs are searching for one or more faculty members who specialize in the empirical study of democracy. We expect the appointment to be at the level of Full Professor, but we will consider applications from advanced Associate Professors.
Qualifications
We define the study of democracy broadly, as research on political regimes and regime change, challenges to democratic institutions, and the study of political behavior. Applicants should have a research agenda that addresses key questions related to democracy, either inside or outside the United States, or both. Successful candidates will also be capable of excellent teaching and mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The position is open to any subfield of political science, other social science disciplines, or related fields.
This search is conducted under the auspices of the Notre Dame Democracy Initiative, a significant investment from the Provost’s office that will provide multiple faculty lines and substantial research support.
Application Instructions
Those attracted to a university with a Catholic identity are particularly encouraged to apply. Information about Notre Dame, including our mission statement, is available at www.nd.edu.
Applicants are asked to provide a CV and letter of interest.
Review of applications will begin on January 31, 2025, but additional applications are welcome until the position is filled.
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
The University of Notre Dame seeks to attract, develop, and retain the highest quality faculty, staff and administration. The University is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to building a culturally diverse workplace. We strongly encourage applications from female and minority candidates and those candidates attracted to a university with a Catholic identity. Moreover, Notre Dame prohibits discrimination against veterans or disabled qualified individuals, and requires affirmative action by covered contractors to employ and advance veterans and qualified individuals with disabilities in compliance with 41 CFR 60-741.5(a) and 41 CFR 60-300.5(a).
Background Check
This appointment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check. Applicants will be asked to identify all felony convictions and/or pending felony charges. Felony convictions do not automatically bar an individual from employment. Each case will be examined separately to determine the appropriateness of employment in the particular position. Failure to be forthcoming or dishonesty with respect to felony disclosures can result in the disqualification of a candidate. The full procedure can be viewed at https://facultyhandbook.nd.edu/?id=link-73597.
