POLITICAL METHODOLOGY

The Department of Political Science invites
applications for a tenured or tenure-track position in methodology to begin in
fall, 2009.  The position is open as to rank.  Candidates should have
active research agendas, the potential to publish in high-quality venues and to
win external research funding, and good teaching credentials, as well as
demonstrated mastery of quantitative methods.  We seek someone with a
strong commitment to research and teaching in statistical, computational,
and/or formal-theoretic methods and their application to substantive political
science problems.  The search is open with respect to sub-field and
methodological expertise.  Teaching responsibilities will include both
introductory and advanced statistical methods as well as course work in
American Politics, International Relations, or Comparative Politics.  All
candidates should submit a cover letter explaining their research interests,
teaching experience, and potential courses they might teach; a current CV; a

evaluations (with a key); and syllabi.  Prospective or recent Ph.D.s

transcript.  To assure full consideration, completed applications should
be received no later than September 30, 2008; however, applications will be
reviewed until the position is filled.  Faculty positions at Penn State
