Visiting Assistant Professor of Politics

Position description

The Department of Politics at Bates College invites applications for a one-year visiting position in comparative politics, with a particular interest in the politics of the Middle East. We are open to a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. We are interested in candidates who can enhance the diversity of perspectives in the department, who are excited to contribute to the college’s ongoing commitment to social and cultural diversity and inclusion, and who are attentive to inclusive pedagogy.

Applicants should show a strong commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching. Responsibilities include teaching five courses and advising individual senior theses. The position would start on August 1, 2024. PhD is preferred, but ABD candidates may be considered.

We strongly encourage applications from individuals with identities that have been historically marginalized in political science, individuals who have followed non-traditional pathways to higher education due to societal, economic, or academic disadvantages, and individuals with a demonstrated capacity to advance the college’s continuing commitments to equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist teaching.
