POSITION DESCRIPTION

Political Methodology

The Department of Political Science at the University of California, Davis, a leading R1 institution, invites applications for a position at the Assistant (tenure-track) or Associate (tenured) Professor level in Political Methodology.  We seek applicants who have exceptional potential for research; who will contribute to teaching our graduate methods curriculum; who can contribute to meeting the needs of our diverse state and student population; and who can contribute to the department’s efforts to promote the success, both at the undergraduate and graduate level, of historically underrepresented, socio-economically disadvantaged, and marginalized student communities. In addition to their expertise in methods, applicants are expected to have strong substantive interests. Of particular interest are candidates whose substantive interests include Identity Politics, broadly defined, though we will seriously consider all applicants with demonstrated substantive interests that complement their methods training.

Applications will be accepted on-line at https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF05136. Candidates should upload a curriculum vitae, cover letter, a statement describing their research interests, sample publications or an article-length writing sample, a statement of Contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and a statement of teaching accomplishments and philosophy.  Applicants will also be asked to provide three to five letters of reference through the online recruitment system.  A Ph.D. or evidence that the degree would be complete by the time of the appointment start date is required.  The anticipated starting date is July 1, 2023.  Applications must be received by October 2, 2022 to guarantee initial full consideration, but the position will remain open until filled.

If you experience technical problems in uploading your application materials, please contact our Academic Personnel Coordinator, Angus Chang, at aychang@ucdavis.edu.
