Experimental Social Science Cluster Hires
Department of Political Science


The Florida State University Political Science Department is a participant
in the University's Pathways to Excellence
(http://www.fsu.edu/rd2005/pathways/) initiative for focused hiring. The
Experimental Social Science cluster, awarded in a university-wide
competition to the departments of Economics and Political Science, will add
five faculty over three years, bolstering existing strengths in the two
departments with the goal of establishing FSU as a center of excellence for
experimental research and training in the social sciences.  The Department
of Political Science is currently seeking applicants to fill two positions,
open with respect to rank, for this initiative.  We encourage applications
from scholars whose research applies experimental methods to study a number
of substantive areas including, but not limited to, social
dilemmas/collective action problems, committee decisions, political
communication, voting and elections, bargaining, policy choice, political
institutions, and institutional design.  Skills in formal theory are
preferred, but not required; facility with advanced quantitative methods is
expected.  In addition to the usual research, teaching, and service duties,
the candidate will aid in the development of the Experimental Social Science
cluster.  This will include developing and participating in
interdisciplinary research groups, acquiring external funding, and assisting
with the development and maintenance of the experimental social sciences
research capabilities.


Senior applicants should submit a letter of application indicating teaching
and research interests, curriculum vitae, selected reprints, and a list of
references.  Junior applicants should submit a letter of application
indicating teaching and research interests, curriculum vitae, writing
samples, three letters of recommendation and a graduate school transcript.
Review of applications will begin October 1, 2006 and continue until the
position is filled.  Florida State University is an EO/AA employer.  Members
of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.  Send all
materials to:  Experimental Social Science Recruitment, Department of
Political Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2230.
