Dear Colleagues,

The University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs invites
applicants for a tenure-track position of assistant professor working on
the study of democracy and democratic backsliding. The ideal candidate will
have a comparative research agenda focused on questions of democratic
erosion, democratic resilience, and strategies to protect democracy. The
position is funded by the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, as
part of Notre Dame’s new Democracy Initiative.
The search is open in terms of methodological perspectives and geographic
area focus, but competitive candidates are expected to possess strong
empirical skills (with a preference for mixed methods) and to be conversant
across research traditions, theoretical perspectives, and geographic
regions. Successful candidates must provide evidence of high-quality
research, as well as an interest to engage global policy debates about the
future of democracy.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop novel analytic
perspectives in the study of democracy and regime change to inform his or
her research, teaching, and service. The position will be based in the
Keough School (https://keough.nd.edu), which advances integral human
development through research, policy and practice, transformative
educational programs, and partnerships for global engagement. We are
particularly interested in candidates whose research agendas inspire
lessons for democratic practitioners. The candidate will interact with
colleagues in Political Science, Sociology, and related fields. The Keough
School is open to the possibility of a joint appointment with a
disciplinary department.

The Keough School is committed to fostering a culture of diverse views and
approaches to Global Affairs. All applicants whose scholarly pursuits will
enhance our ability to fulfill that commitment are encouraged to apply.

The position will close on October 31, 2023 and review of applications will
begin at that time. Applicants are required to submit a cover letter, C.V.,
three letters of recommendation, a writing sample, a research statement,
and a teaching statement or teaching portfolio. All application materials
must be submitted through the Interfolio/Notre Dame online application
system: http://apply.interfolio.com/130347 Questions about the position can
