Faculty Appointment in International Policy (Associate or Full Professor)

The School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, College Park seeks to appoint an Associate or Full Professor with tenure in the International Policy field, starting in Fall 2022.  Candidates should have broad expertise in one or more subfields of International Relations, including security policy, economic policy, diplomacy, and global governance, and should be comfortable working across these disciplinary lines. Candidates should have demonstrated interest in using international relations research to inform policy debates and improve outcomes. Scholarly knowledge and practical experience with international policy-making processes across a range of substantive issues are strongly desired.

Candidates should have an outstanding record of research, teaching, and service commensurate with expectations for a tenured associate or full professor appointment at a public policy program at a major research university.  This includes a superior record of scholarly publications in leading refereed outlets, policy engagement and impact, teaching effectiveness, and institutional service.  It also includes success securing external funding for collaborative research projects and other core parts of the School of Public Policy’s mission.

The successful candidate will teach in the School’s highly ranked graduate program, help build the undergraduate major, direct doctoral dissertations, and help students gain practical experience in the policy world. They will also mentor junior faculty in their field.

The School of Public Policy is committed to increasing diversity among our faculty, staff, and student body; across the UMD campus community; and throughout the field of public policy. We embrace diversity in multiple forms, including identity, background, theoretical and methodological orientations, and opinions. Candidates should have demonstrated their commitment through teaching, mentoring, or service to advancing the professional development of people who will bring diverse perspectives to the field public policy.
