Bucknell University’s Department of Political Science invites applications for a tenure-track position in American Politics beginning in the fall semester of 2025.

We seek candidates whose scholarly and teaching interests center on race and ethnic politics in the U.S. The successful candidate will be prepared to teach a core course in American politics, courses in race and ethnic politics, and a course in quantitative or qualitative research methods.

We are especially interested in candidates whose teaching and research will contribute to the Department’s commitment to both diversity and academic excellence. Evidence of teaching experience and excellence as well as the promise of being a productive scholar are critically important. The teaching load is five courses over two semesters. By the start date of the position, candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in Political Science with a sub-field specialization in American politics. Outstanding candidates in the final stages of their dissertation may be considered, but must complete their degree in their first year at Bucknell in order to continue employment after the first year.
