Job Description

The Department of Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications from nationally prominent scholars to fill the Maurice Falk Professorship of Politics in Political Science, with the appointment to begin in the 2025-2026 academic year pending budgetary approval. In filling this chair, the Department seeks candidates with extraordinary credentials in research, teaching, and mentorship.

We welcome candidates from any subfield, regardless of methodological or regional expertise. We are particularly interested in scholars whose expertise contributes to or complements one or more of the following cross-cutting themes: 1) Global and Transnational Challenges, 2) Groups and Identities, 3) Democracy and Development, and 4) Representation and Accountability.

The Political Science Department at the University of Pittsburgh has faculty members with vibrant and varied research agendas. It has long fostered collegiality and a culture of collaboration among faculty and graduate students. The Department benefits from numerous synergies with other units on campus, including the University Center for International Studies, a world-renowned, multidisciplinary institute housing centers for area studies and for topical specializations in international studies, and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, a public administration and public policy school emphasizing international relations and political development. The City of Pittsburgh frequently tops “most livable city” rankings thanks to its numerous social and cultural offerings and low cost of living.

Minimum qualifications: applicants must have a PhD, at least six years of experience, a significant record of publications, and demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality instruction, contribute to an inclusive climate, and attract and retain a diverse study body.

The committee will begin looking at applications on December 2nd, 2024, but will continue to accept materials until the position is filled. Candidates should send a letter of interest, a CV, and three names of people who can provide references when needed; cover letters should include a discussion of how the candidate’s research, teaching, or service demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion. References can be sent to psjobs@pitt.ed. Candidates with questions can contact Chris Bonneau, search committee co-chair, at cwbonneau@pitt.edu.
