Applications are invited for a tenure-track appointment in American Politics at Reed College, located in Portland, Oregon, beginning Fall 2024. We anticipate making an appointment at the assistant professor level. Salary is competitive and based on experience. Reed provides generous travel and research support, and the Political Science Department has access to some additional professional development funds. We expect the Ph.D. to be in hand by the start of the appointment.

A successful candidate will teach five courses over two semesters which will include two sections of Introduction to American Politics and Policy, a quantitative research methods course, and additional upper division courses in the candidate’s areas of expertise. Our pedagogy emphasizes the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the discipline and includes supervision of several students engaged in their required senior theses.

Reed College is a community that values cultural and intellectual pluralism as essential to the excellence of our academic program. We expect your cover letter to address how your scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and/or community service would support the commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion articulated in Reed College's diversity and anti-racism statements (http://www.reed.edu/diversity). An Equal Opportunity Employer, Reed College values diversity and encourages applications from underrepresented groups.

We welcome applications from all specialties of American politics, with an interest in candidates who use quantitative methods in their research. Enrollment for all of our courses is capped at 24 students, and most of our courses are conducted as seminars. Above all, we seek candidates who demonstrate in their cover letter a strong commitment to teaching excellence at the undergraduate level, a lively and serious program of scholarship, and an interest in treating their specialties explicitly in the light of broader issues in the social sciences.

Please send an application letter, CV, and three letters of recommendation to http://apply.interfolio.com/128345.

Application deadline is September 15, 2023.
